Easy Ninja Creami Butterbeer Ice Cream Recipe Tips

  • Use Full-Fat Dairy for Creaminess: For the creamiest ice cream, always use whole milk and heavy cream. This gives your Butterbeer ice cream a rich, velvety texture that’s hard to beat.
  • Freeze Properly: Make sure the pint container is frozen for at least 24 hours before processing. This ensures the Ninja Creami churns the ice cream evenly without icy chunks.
  • Customize Your Mix-Ins: Add mini butterscotch chips, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of caramel after churning. It adds texture and extra flavor for a more indulgent treat.
  • Don’t Overfill the Container: Leave about ½ inch of space at the top when pouring the base. Overfilling can cause spillage or uneven churning in the Ninja Creami.
  • Serve Immediately or Store Properly: Ice cream is best enjoyed right after processing for the perfect soft-serve texture. If storing, place the lid tightly on the pint and freeze until ready to serve.

Storing Instructions

Store any leftover Butterbeer ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid securely on. Keep it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, and allow it to soften for a few minutes before scooping for the best texture.
