Ninja Creami Copycat Blue Bell Cookies ‘n Cream Recipe Tips
- Use Quality Cookies: Classic sandwich cookies give the best flavor and crunch.
- Crush Cookies Carefully: Leave some chunks for texture—too fine and they’ll get lost in the base.
- Freeze Properly: Full 24-hour freeze ensures smooth, creamy ice cream.
- Mix-In Last: Adding cookies after processing preserves texture.
- Customize: Try adding chocolate chips or fudge swirl for extra indulgence.
Storing, Freezing & Reheating
- Storing: Keep leftover ice cream in the freezer in its Ninja Creami pint container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezing: If removed from the container, store in an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly on the ice cream surface to prevent ice crystals.
- Re-serving: Scoop straight from the freezer—no need to thaw. If too hard, let it sit for a few minutes to soften before serving.
