Equipment
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 Cup Blueberry Yogurt Noosa
- 1 Cup Vanilla Bean Yogurt Noosa
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
Mix-Ins
- ⅓ Cup Blueberries Fresh
Instructions
Make the Ice Cream Mixture
- Pour the yogurt and vanilla bean paste into a small blender and blend until all of the 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 "LITE ICE CREAM" or “FROZEN YOGURT.”
- The fresh blueberries will add a lot of moisture to the frozen yogurt. So, even if the yogurt looks dry and crumbly, don’t do a respin or add more liquid. The frozen yogurt should become creamy during the mix-ins process.
- Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the blueberries. Process on mix-ins.
- 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.
Do I need to freeze the Ninja Creami pint for 24 hours?
According to Ninja Kitchen, yes. It takes 24 hours for the mixture to evenly freeze throughout. Many have frozen for a shorter time and been successful. However, doing so may void the warranty.
