How To Make Ninja Creami Blue Raspberry Italian Ice
Step One: In a bowl, combine the water, blue raspberry syrup, and sugar, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step Two: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and freeze for 12 to 24 hours.
Step Three: After freezing, place the pint in the Ninja Creami and select the “Sorbet” or “Italian Ice” setting. Process until the texture is smooth. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing icy treat, or if you prefer a firmer consistency, freeze for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
UNinja Creami Blue Raspberry Italian Ice Recipe Tips
- Use Blue Raspberry Syrup: For the best flavor, use a high-quality blue raspberry syrup or concentrate.
- Add Lemon Juice: A small amount of lemon juice brightens the flavor and enhances the tartness of the blue raspberry.
- Don’t Overfill the Container: Ensure you leave enough space for the mixture to expand as it freezes.
- Smooth It Out: After processing, if your Italian ice is too hard or has chunks, simply run the machine again or stir it gently with a spoon to achieve a smooth texture.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your blue raspberry Italian ice right after processing. It will have the perfect icy texture and vibrant color.
Storing
- Storing: After making your Ninja Creami Blue Raspberry Italian Ice, transfer it to an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and preserve its texture. Keep it stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks for the best freshness.
- Reheating: Reheating isn’t necessary for Italian ice, as it is meant to be served frozen. If the ice becomes too hard, allow it to sit at room temperature briefly or process it again with the “Sorbet” function to restore its smooth texture.
Ninja Creami Blue Raspberry Italian Ice Recipe Faqs
Can I use less sugar? Yes, but keep in mind that sugar helps with texture and keeps the Italian ice from becoming too icy. Lowering the sugar might make it a bit harder.
What if my Italian ice is too hard after freezing? If it’s too firm, simply use the “Re-spin” feature on the Ninja Creami for a creamier, smoother texture.
Is it possible to make this recipe without the Ninja Creami? Yes! Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray, freeze, and blend the frozen cubes in a high-powered blender until smooth.
Can I add fresh raspberries for extra flavor? Absolutely! Add a few mashed raspberries to the mixture or as a topping after processing. For best results, use the “Mix-in” setting.
Can I adjust the syrup for a lighter flavor? Sure! Adjust the amount of blue raspberry syrup to your taste—using less will create a milder flavor, while using more intensifies the taste and color.
How can I make a dairy-free version? This recipe is already dairy-free, so you’re all set!
Can I make a slushier texture? To get a slushier texture, add an extra 1/4 cup of water to the mixture. After processing, use the “Re-spin” option if needed.
