Why Youโ€™ll Love This Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

There are so many reasons to love this blueberry cottage cheese ice cream recipe. Here are some of them:

  • Itโ€™s super easy to make. You only need a blender, a freezer and ninja creami ice cream maker. No ice cream maker, no churning, no fuss.
  • Itโ€™s low in sugar. The only sugar in this ice cream comes from the natural sweetness of the blueberries. No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no syrups.
  • Itโ€™s keto-friendly. This ice cream has only 1.8 g net carbs per serving, which makes it suitable for a low-carb or keto diet.
  • Itโ€™s customizable. You can easily change the flavor of this ice cream by using different fruits, nuts, chocolate, or peanut butter. You can also adjust the sweetness and creaminess to your taste preferences.

If you want to make a no-churn ice cream, mix all ingredients (add 1/4 teaspoon of guar gum to achieve a creamy texture) and pour into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-3 hours. Let the sugar-free ice cream stand on your counter for 10-15 minutes before consumption.

Tips for Best Results

  • Do not overmix the cream in the blender as it can split. This will make the ice cream texture grainy.
  • Do not overfill the Ninja Creami container. Leave a little bit of a gap.
  • If after the first spin the ice cream is powdery, use the re-spin program. Do not use the Light Ice Cream program again. Keep re-spinning (2-3 times) until you are happy with the consistency.
  • If after a couple of re-spins the ice cream is still powdery, add a tablespoon of almond milk. Do not be tempted to add any other liquid as it can cause the ice cream to become grainy.
  • I tried different amounts of milk and cream, and this (1:1) ratio seems to be the perfect texture. You can experiment yourself.

    Can you maybe tell me why the ice cream came out with a weird fat-like film? Like itโ€™s on the sides of the pint, on the roof of my mouth, on the spoons, etc.

    • Hi Heather,
      Iโ€™m really sorry to hear that your ice cream turned out this way. It sounds like the mixture might have split, which can happen if itโ€™s overmixed (re-spun too many times โ€“ itโ€™s an easy mistake to make).

      To avoid this in the future, try letting the ice cream warm up a bit before spinning it in the Ninja Creami. This should help prevent that unpleasant film from forming.

      I hope this helps, and thank you for trying out the recipe!
