FAQs: Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream
1. Can I use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
No, evaporated milk won’t work in this recipe. The sweetened condensed milk not only sweetens the ice cream but also contributes to its creamy texture.
2. Can I make this recipe with dairy-free alternatives?
Currently, this recipe is best with traditional dairy products. However, you can try experimenting with dairy-free options if you wish. We recommend starting with coconut milk or almond milk, though results may vary in terms of texture and flavor.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Leftover ice cream can be stored in the freezer with the lid on the tub. You can re-spin the ice cream using the Ninja Creami machine when you’re ready to enjoy more. Even after a few hours in the freezer, the ice cream should remain scoopable and creamy without needing to be re-spun.
4. Can I make a vegan version?
We’re currently experimenting with vegan versions of this recipe. Keep an eye out for a future guide using non-dairy alternatives that provide the same creaminess without any compromise on flavor.
5. Why is my ice cream making noise during processing?
The Ninja Creami machine can be quite loud when processing certain mixtures, especially those with a higher fat content like this one. Don’t worry—this is normal and won’t damage your machine.
The Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream recipe is a simple yet delicious way to enjoy rich, creamy ice cream from the comfort of your own home. With just a handful of ingredients and a little patience, you can create a dessert that’s as good as—or better than—anything you can buy in the store.
