How To Make Dairy Queen Ice Cream Copycat Recipe in the Ninja Creami
Step One: In a bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
Step Two: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze for at least 24 hours for best results.
Step Three: Once frozen, place the container into your Ninja Creami machine. Use the Ice Cream function to churn it into a smooth, creamy texture. For Blizzard-style ice cream, create a well in the center of the pint and add your favorite mix-ins like Oreos or candy pieces. Run the Mix-In function to combine.
Step Four: Scoop into a cone, cup, or make a sundae with your favorite toppings.
Tips for Success
- Use whole milk and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
- Don’t skip the overnight freeze—it’s key for the Ninja Creami to work properly.
- Add mix-ins after the first churn for best results.
- For chocolate soft serve, stir in chocolate syrup before freezing.
Storing Your Ice Cream
Keep your homemade Dairy Queen copycat ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. Simply re-spin in the Creami before serving to restore its creamy texture.
Ninja Creami Dairy Queen Ice Cream Copycat Recipe Faqs
Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk? For the creamiest texture, whole milk and heavy cream are recommended. Low-fat milk will result in a slightly less rich and softer ice cream.
How long should I freeze the ice cream base? Freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours in the Ninja Creami pint container. This ensures it’s firm enough for the machine to churn properly.
Can I make this recipe without the Ninja Creami? Yes, you can freeze the mixture in a regular container and stir every 30–60 minutes to reduce ice crystals, but the Ninja Creami creates a smoother, soft-serve-style texture more easily.
Can I use flavored extracts? Absolutely! Vanilla is classic, but feel free to experiment with peppermint, almond, or coconut extracts for unique flavors.
How can I make it more like a Dairy Queen Blizzard? After the first churn in the Ninja Creami, create a well in the center of the ice cream and add your favorite mix-ins (Oreos, M&Ms, candy pieces). Use the Mix-In function to evenly incorporate them.
