How To Make Ninja Creami Copycat Ben and Jerry’s Americone Dream
Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and heavy cream until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and place the pint in the freezer for 24 hours, or until completely solid.
Step 3: Once fully frozen, remove the lid and place the pint into your Ninja Creami machine following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 4: Select the Ice Cream setting and let the Ninja Creami blend the base until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: After spinning, gently fold in the caramel sauce and chocolate-covered waffle cone pieces by hand for that classic Americone Dream crunch.
Step 6: Scoop into a bowl, cone, or enjoy straight from the pint—either way, it’s dreamy and delicious!
Ninja Creami Copycat Ben and Jerry’s Americone Dream Recipe Tips
🥶 Freeze for a full 24 hours – Make sure the base is rock solid before spinning for the best texture.
🍦 Use instant pudding mix – It thickens the base and adds that signature creaminess.
🍫 Chop cone pieces small – This helps them mix evenly without overwhelming each bite.
🌀 Don’t skip Re-Spin – If the ice cream is crumbly after the first spin, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin for perfect creaminess.
🍯 Fold in mix-ins gently – Stir in caramel and waffle cone pieces by hand or use the Mix-In setting to preserve texture and swirl.
Storing
Store any leftover ice cream directly in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed. For best results, re-spin before serving again to restore its creamy texture.
