About the Ninja Creami
I have tried other Ice Cream Makers and I love the Ninja Creami most of all. The best part about the Creami is that the creamy texture is absolutely perfect every time! The Creami makes it easier to create ice creams that are very healthy and made with fewer ingredients- even just milk and fruit. It makes the best homemade ice cream with fresh strawberry flavor.
Here are the basics about how to use a Ninja Creami machine. Begin by freezing your desired ingredients in the provided container for 24 hours. I usually keep several flavors in my freezer- ready to use. After freezing you choose between settings such as ice cream, sorbet, gelato and mix-ins. I always use the “ice cream” setting first. After the first spin the ice cream will be a chalky texture. Add more liquid into the center of the container (either milk or water) and “re-spin”. After the second spin, it is ready to eat! At the point you can also add mix-ins and do a “mix-in” spin to combine them throughout your pint. It takes around five to ten minutes to complete a pint of ice cream.

Instructions
In your pint container combine cut strawberries with sugar. Let them sit for five minutes until the sugar liquifies.
Next, add milk, yogurt, pudding mix and vanilla extract. Stir to combine, cover the pint and freeze for 24 hours.
Use your Ninja Creami machine on “Ice Cream” setting.
Remove the pint and take a look at your ice cream. If you think the texture is a bit chalky (or not as creamy as you want) make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then, use the “re-spin” setting.
Top with strawberry shortcake crunch or fresh strawberries.
Tips for Making
- Add Protein Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, such as whey powder, to any mixture for high-protein ice cream.
- When to Serve It’s best to spin Creami ice creams right before eating. If you freeze them again for more than a few hours you may find the ice cream is hard again. If the ice cream is frozen hard set it out for 15 to 20 minutes until it is soft enough to eat.
- Label If you make multiple flavors at once, be sure to label each flavor.
- Extra Creamy Replace half the milk with heavy whipping cream or heavy cream for an extra creamy finish.
- Red Food Coloring It is not necessary to use any food dye for this recipe, but you can add a drop of red food coloring if you want a brighter pink color.
- Topping Ideas Make a homemade strawberry puree or add some diced shortcake pieces with fresh strawberries.
