Blue Bell Sweet Cream Ninja Creami (Copycat)
Description
A rich, milky Blue Bell Sweet Cream copycat made in the Ninja Creami with just 5 ingredients. Egg-free, no-cook, and ready in one creamy spin.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (optional, for texture)
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese and sugar together until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, and salt until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour into a Ninja Creami pint, staying below the MAX fill line. Secure the lid.
- Freeze flat on a level shelf for a full 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, lock the pint into the outer bowl, and run the "Ice Cream" (or "Sweet Cream") function.
- If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run "Re-Spin" until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop and serve right away for soft-serve, or refreeze 15–20 minutes for a firmer scoop.
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
- Ninja Creami Pint Container
- Ninja Creami Pint Container Lid
Notes
- The cream cheese is the secret to a dense, non-icy texture — don't skip it if you can help it. Substitute 1–2 teaspoons of instant vanilla pudding mix if needed.
- Freeze the pint level and for the full 24 hours; this is the #1 factor in a smooth spin.
- Store leftovers in the pint, lid on, up to 2 weeks. Re-spin to bring back the creamy texture.
