Ninja Creami Copycat Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup Ice cream Recipe Notes

  • Soft Serve Texture: The Ninja Creami is crafted to produce soft serve-like ice cream. Although it may not mirror the store-bought Ben and Jerry’s exactly, the taste is quite similar.
  • Adjusting Consistency: If the mixture is crumbly, incorporate 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream until you achieve the desired texture.
  • Hardening the Ice Cream: Should the ice cream turn out too soft, simply place it back in the freezer for 1-2 hours to allow it to firm up.
  • Mix-Ins: In this recipe, certain mix-ins are to be folded in by hand. Alternatively, you can enhance the base with candy pieces and frozen cookie dough and spin it using the “Mix-in” setting.

How long does it take to prepare ice cream in the Ninja Creami? The preparation time typically ranges from 10 to 15 minutes. However, you’ll need to freeze the mixture for a minimum of 24 hours before using the Ninja Creami.

Can I use any type of milk or cream in the Ninja Creami? Yes, you have the flexibility to utilize various milk or cream options, both dairy and non-dairy. Be aware that the texture and flavor may differ based on the choice of milk or cream. Generally, full-fat dairy products result in the creamiest outcome.

How do I clean the Ninja Creami after making ice cream? Refer to the owner’s manual of your Ninja Creami for detailed cleaning instructions.

What should I do if my ice cream is too hard to scoop? Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature briefly to soften. Alternatively, utilize the Ninja Creami’s “Re-Spin” setting to achieve a softer consistency.

How can I fix a crumbly ice cream base? If your ice cream base appears crumbly, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream and re-spin until the desired consistency is reached.

How should I store leftover ice cream? Store any remaining ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. For the best texture, consume within a week. You can either buy additional freezer-safe pint containers for storing ice cream or utilize the Ninja Creami pint container.
