Equipment

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

1 Cup Milk Whole Milk
½ Cup Half and Half
⅓ Cup Sugar White
2 Tablespoons Lemon Flavored Instant Pudding Mix
2 Tablespoons Lemon Curd

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour all ingredients into a small blender and blend until everything is fully combined. Pour 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 from the freezer. Remove the lid.
Place the container into the Ninja Creami and then process on "Gelato."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Can the dairy and sugar be substituted in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the dairy and sugar to fit your dietary needs. You can use any sugar substitute that you would like, just make sure that it is a 1:1 ratio with the sugar. The milk and half and half can also be substituted. However, some substitutes like oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and cashew milk have a lower fat content and will likely produce ice crystals and a less creamy result.

How do I get Creamier ice cream with the Ninja Creami?

If you have made a frozen treat and it just isn’t quite as Creami as you would like, you can very easily get it super Creami by using the re-spin function on the Ninja Creami and a little liquid. Simply pour one tablespoon of milk or cream into the pint and place the pint into the outer bowl and snap it into place. Choose the RE-SPIN function. Once the cycle completes, remove the pint and enjoy!
