How To Make Dairy Free Ice Cream in The Ninja Creami

Step One – In a bowl, combine oat milk (or other non-dairy milk), instant vanilla pudding mix, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully smooth and combined.

Step Two– Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.

Step Three – Once fully frozen, insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Ice Cream” setting and let it spin.

Step Four– If the texture is too crumbly after the first spin, add a splash of non-dairy milk and use the “Re-Spin” function until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Step Five – Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy as-is, or add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, fruit, or cookie crumbles using the “Mix-In” setting.

Ninja Creami Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe Tips

• Use a full-fat non-dairy milk like oat or almond for a creamier texture.
• Instant pudding mix helps with creaminess and scoopability—don’t skip it!
• Freeze the pint on a flat surface to ensure even spinning.
• If the ice cream is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of non-dairy milk and use the Re-Spin function.
• Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or cookie crumbles using the Mix-In setting after the first spin.

Storing

Store any leftover Ninja Creami dairy-free vanilla ice cream in the original pint container with the lid tightly sealed. For best texture, re-spin in the Ninja Creami before serving if it becomes too firm after freezing.

Ninja Creami Dairy Free Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe Faqs

Can I use a different non-dairy milk? Yes! Almond, soy, oat, or cashew milk all work well—just choose one that’s unsweetened and unflavored for the best results.

What if my ice cream turns out crumbly? No worries! Just add 1–2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk and use the Re-Spin function until smooth and creamy.

Can I skip the instant pudding mix? It’s not recommended, as the pudding mix helps create a creamier texture and prevents iciness in dairy-free recipes.

How long does this ice cream keep? Store it in the Creami pint container with the lid on for up to 1 week. Re-spin before serving for the best texture.

Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit? Absolutely! After the first spin, create a well in the center of the ice cream, add your mix-ins, and use the Mix-In setting.

Can I add vanilla protein powder to this recipe? Yes, you can add vanilla protein powder to this recipe for an extra boost of protein. Just reduce the pudding mix slightly to keep the texture smooth and creamy.
