Ingredients for Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipe
Here’s what you’ll want to have on hand:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, your call)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
How I Make Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, peanut butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the fill line.
- Freeze the pint for 24 hours—yes, patience is key here.
- Once frozen solid, place the pint in the Ninja Creami machine and select the Ice Cream function.
- If the texture isn’t quite right after the first spin, give it a quick re-spin for extra creaminess.
Serving The Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream
I love scooping this ice cream into a bowl and topping it with chopped peanuts for extra texture. Sometimes, I drizzle a little melted chocolate or caramel sauce on top. Feeling fancy? Serve it alongside warm brownies or fresh fruit. This ice cream pairs beautifully with just about anything.
Helpful Tips
- Use good-quality peanut butter for the best flavor.
- Don’t skip the salt; it balances the sweetness and boosts the peanut butter taste.
- If you want a lighter version, swap half the heavy cream with whole milk.
- Always freeze the pint container for a full 24 hours for optimal texture.
Leftovers and Storage
Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in the freezer, and it should stay fresh for up to a week. When you want more, just pop it back into the machine for a quick refresh. No need to let it thaw.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skimping on the freeze time can lead to icy, less creamy results.
- Overfilling the pint container makes it harder for the machine to work properly.
- Using low-fat milk or cream changes the texture and richness, so stick to whole milk and heavy cream.
- Forgetting to add salt will make the ice cream taste flat.
