FAQs

Why is my Ninja Creami ice cream crumbly?

The Ninja Creami Ice-Cream needs to be spun twice to get a smooth texture if this doesn't occur try adding a splash of milk before re spinning again. 

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, any milk alternative can be substituted. I used soy milk for this recipe.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami?

While the texture won’t be the same, you can blend the mixture in a food processor.
