How To Make Ninja Creami Ben & Jerry’s Copycat Dirt Cake Ice Cream

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 cup instant chocolate pudding mix. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure it doesn’t go over the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze for 24 hours until completely solid.

Step 3: After freezing, remove the lid and place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the Ice Cream function and spin.

Step 4: Once done, check the texture. If it’s too crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and respin using the Re-Spin function.

Step 5: Create a well in the center of the ice cream and add 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and a drizzle of chocolate syrup if using. Select the Mix-In function to blend everything in.

Step 6: Scoop and serve immediately for a soft, creamy texture—just like the Ben & Jerry’s Dirt Cake classic!

Ninja Creami Ben & Jerry’s Copycat Dirt Cake Ice Cream Recipe Tips

🥶 Freeze for a Full 24 Hours – Make sure the base is completely solid before spinning for the best texture.

🍫 Use Instant Pudding Mix – It thickens the base and gives that signature Dirt Cake flavor.

🍪 Crush Cookies Just Right – Keep them chunky enough for texture but small enough to mix in smoothly.

🌀 Use Re-Spin if Needed – If your ice cream is crumbly after the first spin, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and use the Re-Spin function.

🍦 Add Mix-Ins Last – Always use the Mix-In function after spinning so cookies stay chunky and don’t get blended into the base.

Storing

Store leftover Dirt Cake Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed. For best texture, re-spin before serving again if it firms up too much in the freezer.

Ninja Creami Ben & Jerry’s Copycat Dirt Cake Ice Cream Recipe Faqs

Can I use regular pudding instead of instant? Instant pudding mix works best because it thickens the ice cream base, but regular pudding can be used—it may result in a softer texture.

How long do I need to freeze the mixture? Freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours to ensure it’s solid enough for the Ninja Creami to process properly.

Can I substitute the crushed cookies? Yes, you can use any chocolate sandwich cookies or even gluten-free cookie options to suit your preferences.

What if my ice cream is too crumbly? Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and use the Re-Spin function to improve texture.

Can I add other mix-ins? Absolutely! Feel free to mix in nuts, chocolate chips, or candy pieces for extra texture and flavor.
