How To Make Ninja Creami Grinch Milkshake

Step Two: Lock the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Milkshake” setting. Allow the machine to process until smooth and creamy.
Step Three: Frost the rim of your glass if desired, then pour in the bright green milkshake. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, green sprinkles, red sprinkles, and finish with a maraschino cherry for a festive holiday touch.
Ninja Creami Grinch Milkshake Recipe Tips
- Use firm ice cream: Slightly softened ice cream works best for smooth blending.
- Add coloring gradually: Start with a few drops of neon green gel and mix, then adjust for your desired shade.
- Chill your glass: A cold glass keeps the milkshake from melting too quickly.
- Mix toppings separately: Add sprinkles and whipped cream after churning to prevent them from sinking.
- Customize flavors: Add a drop of peppermint extract for a festive twist or a handful of chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
- Refreeze if needed: If your milkshake is too soft, refreeze for 10–15 minutes for a thicker texture.
- Get creative with presentation: Frost the rim, use colorful straws, or add extra sprinkles to make it extra festive.
Storing and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Store any leftover milkshake in an airtight container in the freezer to keep it fresh. Thaw in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to make it scoopable again.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the ice cream and milk mixture up to 24 hours in advance and freeze in the pint container. Churn in the Ninja Creami and add toppings just before serving for the freshest presentation.
