Ingredients Needed
- Ripe peaches, peeled and diced: Fresh, juicy peaches for natural sweetness and flavor
- Whole milk (or 2%): Adds creaminess and smooth texture to gelato base
- Heavy cream: Creates rich, velvety consistency and fuller mouthfeel
- Dry vanilla ice cream mix: Helps thicken and stabilize the frozen dessert
- Granulated sugar: Sweetens the gelato and enhances peach flavor
- Almond extract (optional): Adds subtle nutty depth and enhances fruit flavor
How To Make Easy Ninja Creami Peach Gelato
Step One: Add the peaches, milk, heavy cream, dry vanilla ice cream mix, sugar, and almond extract to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Step Two: Pour the blended mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours.
Step Three: Once fully frozen, remove the lid and place the pint into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Gelato” setting and process until smooth.
Step Four: If the gelato looks crumbly after spinning, add a small splash of milk and run the “Re-Spin” or “Re-Mix” cycle until creamy.
Step Five: Scoop and enjoy right away for a soft texture, or return it to the freezer for a firmer, scoopable gelato.
Easy Ninja Creami Peach Gelato Recipe Tips
- Use ripe peaches. The sweeter and softer they are, the better your gelato tastes. If they’re bland, your gelato will be too.
- Blend completely smooth. Any chunks left behind can turn icy after freezing.
- Freeze on a flat surface. An uneven freeze can affect how it spins in the Ninja Creami.
- Don’t skip the full 24 hours. If it’s not fully frozen solid, the texture won’t come out right.
- Re-spin is your friend. Crumbly texture after the first spin? Add a splash of milk and run it again. That’s totally normal.
- Scrape down the sides before re-spinning. It helps create that ultra-smooth finish.
Storing Instructions
- Short-Term Storage: Keep the gelato in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed in the freezer.
- For Best Texture: Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if it’s been frozen solid.
- To Re-Cream: If it hardens too much, run the “Re-Spin” cycle before serving.
- Best Within: Enjoy within 1–2 weeks for the freshest flavor and smoothest consistency.
Easy Ninja Creami Peach Gelato Recipe FAQs
Do I have to freeze the mixture for a full 24 hours? Yes. The base needs to be completely frozen solid for the Ninja Creami to spin it properly. If it’s even slightly soft in the center, the texture won’t come out right.
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh? Absolutely. Just thaw them first and drain any excess liquid so the gelato doesn’t turn icy.
Why is my gelato crumbly after the first spin? Totally normal. Add a small splash of milk and run the Re-Spin or Re-Mix cycle until smooth and creamy.
Can I make this dairy-free? You can swap in full-fat coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative, but the texture may be slightly less rich.
How long does homemade peach gelato last in the freezer? It’s best within 1–2 weeks. After that, it can become icy since it doesn’t contain commercial stabilizers.
Can I reduce the sugar? You can, but keep in mind sugar helps with texture. Cutting too much may make the gelato freeze harder.
What if it’s too hard to scoop later? Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes or run the Re-Spin cycle to bring it back to a smooth, scoopable consistency.
