Creamy Dreams: Sweetened Condensed Milk Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting ice cream made with sweetened condensed milk, you know it hits differently — ultra-creamy, lusciously smooth, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. Add the magic of the Ninja Creami to the equation, and you’ve got a no-cook, no-fuss frozen dessert that’s practically foolproof.
Today, we’re diving into how to make Sweetened Condensed Milk Ice Cream using the Ninja Creami, a perfect base that’s endlessly customizable and made with just a handful of ingredients.
Why Sweetened Condensed Milk?
Sweetened condensed milk brings both sweetness and creaminess in one easy-to-use ingredient. It eliminates the need for sugar or eggs, and it ensures your final product has a scoop-shop texture with less effort.
Combined with milk and cream, it becomes the ultimate no-churn-style base, perfectly suited for the Ninja Creami’s unique spin technology.
The Recipe: Sweetened Condensed Milk Ice Cream (Ninja Creami Style)
Ingredients (for one pint):
-
¾ cup whole milk
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
-
Mix it Up:
In a bowl or directly in your Creami pint container, whisk together all the ingredients until fully combined. -
Freeze:
Secure the lid and freeze the pint flat and level for at least 24 hours. -
Spin Time:
After freezing, place the pint in your Ninja Creami, install it according to the instructions, and select the “Ice Cream” function. -
Refine the Texture:
If the result looks crumbly (which is common), simply add a tablespoon of milk and use the “Re-Spin” function until you get that dreamy, scoopable texture. -
Add Your Twist:
Want mix-ins? Create a small well in the center, add crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or fruit swirls, and use the “Mix-In” setting.
Flavor Ideas to Try:
-
Strawberries & Cream: Add diced macerated strawberries after the first spin.
-
Mocha Fudge: Stir a tsp of instant espresso powder into the base and mix in fudge chunks.
-
Lemon Pie: Add crushed graham crackers and lemon zest for a bright, tangy twist.
Why It Works So Well in the Creami
The Ninja Creami excels at turning frozen bases into scoopable desserts thanks to its fine spinning blade. This is especially helpful when your base contains dense ingredients like sweetened condensed milk, which might otherwise freeze too hard in traditional no-churn recipes.
In the Creami, the condensed milk actually contributes to a silky, soft-serve-style consistency without needing to temper eggs or make a custard.
Final Thoughts
If you’re new to the Ninja Creami or just want a go-to base that’s easy and endlessly versatile, this sweetened condensed milk ice cream is a must-try. It’s minimal in prep but maximal in flavor and texture — the perfect treat to pull out on a hot day or share after dinner.
Have fun spinning, and don’t forget to experiment with your favorite mix-ins!
