Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Course: Dessert
Servings: 1 pint

Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk separated from the white
  • 2 tablespoons of raw cane sugar or maple syrup to taste
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional mix ins

Instructions

  • Add the egg yolk and sugar to a small mason jar and use your small electric whisk to whip (see notes above about egg yolks)
  • Whip until your mixture is light, fluffy, and lighter in color
  • Add the milk and cream to the Ninja Creami container
  • Add the yolk mixture to this container and use a spoon or (not electric) whisk to combine everything really well
  • Stir in the vanilla and salt
  • Freeze for 24 hours
  • Remove from the freezer and let sit on the counter for 7-10 minutes
  • Follow the Ninja Creami instructions to blend the mixture using the “ice cream” setting
  • Once the cycle is finished, remove the container and add a splash of cream in the center
  • Run the Creami one more time on the “respin” setting
  • Now the ice cream is ready to eat, or add mix ins (see my suggestions above)
  • For mix-ins, make a small well in the center of the ice cream container, add mix ins
  • Run the ice cream on the mix in setting
  • Enjoy right away or freeze for later!
