Ice Cream Base

16 Ounces Eggnog

Optional

Instructions

Pour eggnog into an empty Ninja Creami pint container. Close the lid and freeze for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Remove the lid.
Place the Ninja Creami pint into the outer bowl. Place the outer bowl with the pint in it, into the Ninja Creami machine and turn until the outer bowl locks into place. Push the GELATO button. During the gelato function, the ice cream will mix together and become very creamy.
Once the GELATO function has ended, turn the outer bowl and release it from the Ninja Creami machine. If the eggnog comes out dry or crumbly, dig a whole down the center and pour in a tablespoon or two of eggnog or milk, and re-spin.
Your ice cream is ready to eat! Enjoy!

Notes

Which eggnog is best?

I have bought the store brand and Oberweis brand eggnog and both make great Ninja Creami Eggnog gelato! Use eggnog that tastes great straight out of the container! Sometimes flavors become a little less intense after the mixture has been frozen and processed. So, it's important that you use eggnog that tastes great and has a rich flavor before it's been frozen. If needed, add some additional nutmeg, vanilla, and cinnamon to the eggnog before freezing.

Can I add alcohol to Ninja Creami Eggnog?

Yes, you can! You can either buy the premade eggnog that already has alcohol in it or you can add your own. However, be mindful of the alcohol content. Alcohol does not freeze like the other ingredients and adding too much alcohol will prohibit the mixture from fully freezing. Too much alcohol will create a soft-serve texture.
