Ninja Creami Sonic M&M Blast Recipe Tips
- Soften the cream cheese first to ensure a smooth, lump-free base.
- Mix the sugar and vanilla thoroughly before adding the dairy to help everything blend evenly.
- Fill only to the “MAX FILL” line to avoid overflow or uneven processing.
- Freeze the base for at least 24 hours to ensure it’s fully solid before spinning.
- Use the “Ice Cream” function first, and re-spin if needed for an even creamier texture.
- Create a small well in the center before adding the M&M’s to help distribute mix-ins evenly.
- Press the “Mix-In” button, not re-spin, to keep the candy pieces intact.
- Serve immediately for the best soft, creamy consistency and candy crunch!
Storing
Store any leftover M&M Blast directly in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed. For best texture, reprocess using the “Re-Spin” function when ready to enjoy again.
Ninja Creami Sonic M&M Blast Recipe Faqs
Can I use regular-sized M&M’s instead of mini M&M’s?Yes, you can use regular-sized M&M’s, but chopping them into smaller pieces may make them easier to mix in and enjoy in each bite.
How long should I freeze the base mixture? For best results, freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours or until completely solid before processing in the Ninja Creami.
Can I substitute the cream cheese with something else? Cream cheese adds creaminess, but you can use dry vanilla pudding mix, about 3-4 TBS
What if my ice cream comes out too icy or hard? If your ice cream is too hard or icy after the first cycle, simply press the “Re-spin” button on the Ninja Creami until it reaches the desired consistency.
Can I use other candy mix-ins instead of M&M’s? Absolutely! You can swap out M&M’s for other candy like chopped Snickers, Reese’s Pieces, or even chocolate chips.
