Handy tip: Make Extra!
I know I’ve already said it twice, but this REALLY does make a great base ice cream. I recommend making a couple pints at a time so you can customize with different toppings and mix-ins. Same recipe, so many different flavors!
Ingredients & Swaps
- Coconut Milk – full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk. Coconut cream also works but was just a bit thicker in consistency.
- Almond Milk – I use unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk for a little extra vanilla flavor. But you could use any milk, plant-based or otherwise, flavored or not. *Here’s where you can begin changing the flavor of the base. Try using a chocolate flavored milk or creamer instead.
- Sweetener – use your favorite sweetener. You may need to adjust the amount by a tablespoon or two depending on which one you use.
- Extract – use vanilla extract along with vanilla-flavored milk for a sweet, creamy base. *But this is another ingredient that you could go rogue with and create another flavor. Experiment with–orange, lemon, pineapple, maple, even mint.

Instructions
- To prepare the ice cream, place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into the CREAMi pint, making sure it doesn't go over the MAX FILL line, then put the lid on it.
- Place the pint in the freezer, making sure it's level. Freeze for 24 hours.
Take the pint from the freezer, remove the lid, and place it in the outer bowl. Install the paddle in the lid and attach lid to the outer bowl. - Plug in the Ninja CREAMi unit and install the bowl on the base. Press the power button, select FULL and the LITE ICE CREAM setting. Push the button to start.
- When the unit shuts off, remove the bowl from the base and remove the lid. If the ice cream is crumbly, you can add a TBSP of vanilla almond milk, then reattach the lid and install the bowl on the base again. Select RE-SPIN.
- Once the ice cream is at the right consistency, you can serve immediately or add mix-ins or toppings of your choice.
