Ingredients & Swaps

This is the list of ingredients I used when I made Ninja CREAMi strawberry ice cream. But be sure to check out my suggestions below for recommended substitutions if you want to use other ingredients.

  • fresh strawberries – could use frozen, but thaw before using in recipe
  • heavy cream – could also use coconut cream or milk, not lite
  • raw agave nectar – OPTIONAL: I like the extra flavor this gives the recipe but you could leave it out
  • monk fruit sweetener – could also use cane sugar or other sweeteners. Adjust amount accordingly.
  • lemon juice

Step 2 Add the remaining ingredients and stir until the sweetener is dissolved.

Step 3 Pour the base into a Ninja CREAMi pint container and freeze for 24 hours.

Step 4 Once frozen, process on the LITE ICE CREAM setting. RE-SPIN is necessary, then serve with your favorite toppings.

Nothing says summer like a pint of fresh picked strawberries, and there's no better way to use them than this Ninja CREAMi strawberry ice cream recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned, cored, and quartered
  • 3 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 Tbsp raw agave nectar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream

Instructions

  1. To prepare the base, place the quartered strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with the monk fruit sweetener. Smash the strawberries with the back of a fork until they are a chunky pulp consistency.
  2. Add the raw agave nectar, lemon juice and heavy milk to the bowl and stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
  3. Pour the base into a CREAMi pint, making sure it doesn't go over the MAX FILL line, and put the lid on it.
  4. Place the pint in the freezer, making sure it's level. Freeze for 24 hours.
  5. 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.
  6. Plug in the Ninja CREAMi unit and install the bowl on the base.
  7. Press the power button and select LITE ICE CREAM.
  8. When the unit shuts off, remove the bowl from the base and remove the lid.
  9. If the ice cream is crumbly, then reattach the lid and install the bowl on the base again. Select RE-SPIN.
  10. Once the ice cream is at the right consistency, serve immediately.

Tips

Seriously, you could come up with a couple dozen suggestions for things to mix into or top your ice cream with. But I’ll keep the list short with just a few general ones:

  • fresh or frozen fruit – more strawberries or even bananas are my favorites
  • small candy pieces like Reese’s Pieces or M&Ms
  • mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, sprinkles
  • gummy bears

These can either be mixed in after the ice cream is blended up, or just sprinkled on top.

All you have to do is substitute coconut cream for the heavy cream.
