Servings: 1 Pint
Calories: 483kcal
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1½ Cups Fresh Blueberries
- 4 Fluid Ounces Whole Milk
- 4 Fluid Ounces Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
Optional
- 1-2 Tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Make the Ice Cream Mixture
- Pour the blueberries, milk, creamer, and vanilla bean paste into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.
Process the Ice Cream
- After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
- Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "ICE CREAM."
- If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
- Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes
How long can I freeze my ice cream?
It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.
Can I use frozen fruit in the Ninja Creami?
Yes, you can. But, frozen fruit either needs to be thawed out before using, blended with the other ingredients, or have a liquid, like dairy added to the pint to fill in all of the gaps. You cannot only use frozen fruit as it could damage the machine.
