Notes

Can you put fresh bananas in the Ninja Creami?

Yes! Yes! and Yes!! And, you should! Bananas create a wonderful texture when they are mixed into ice cream recipes in the Ninja Creami! Bananas help to create a VERY thick and creamy ice cream! You can definitely taste the bananas, regardless of how much you use. So, if you like bananas, add them to your ice cream! You'll be amazed by the great texture!

Why do you use instant pudding in the Ninja Creami?

Instant pudding, with or without sugar, helps to thicken the ice cream and makes it very creamy. You can use a gum instead, like guar gum. The instant pudding mix also adds flavor. And, there are so many different flavors of instant pudding available that it makes it pretty easy to come up with great flavor combinations.
