how to make Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream

Making Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream is a simple process. By following the steps below, you’ll create a delicious and refreshing ice cream that is bursting with peach flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup peeled and chopped fresh peaches
2 TBSP granulated sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
2 TBSP instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 3-5 minutes, or until the peaches have softened and released their juices, creating a syrup. The mixture should reduce down to roughly 1/2 cup.
Transfer the peach and syrup mixture to a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup.
Add the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix to the peach mixture. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a Ninja Creami pint container, being careful not to exceed the max fill line, and secure the lid. Place the pint on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint into the outer bowl and secure the outer bowl lid.
Place the outer bowl assembly into the Ninja Creami machine and lock it into place. Press the Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.
Remove the pint and check the ice cream’s texture. If it appears crumbly, insert it back into the machine and use the Re-spin cycle. If it remains crumbly after that, add a tablespoon of milk and Re-spin again.
