Instructions for Making Ninja Creami M&M Ice Cream
Making M&M ice cream with the Ninja Creami is simple and requires minimal prep. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
- Freeze the Base: Pour the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container that fits your Ninja Creami machine (typically, it will be a 2-3 quart container). Make sure the container is level and the base is evenly distributed. Cover and freeze the container for at least 24 hours. This step is crucial to ensure the ice cream will have the right consistency when processed in the Ninja Creami.
Step 2: Prepare the M&Ms and Add-ins
- While the base is freezing, chop the M&M candies into smaller pieces if you prefer smaller chunks of candy in your ice cream. This step is optional, but it helps the M&Ms distribute more evenly throughout the ice cream.
- If you like additional texture, crush some graham crackers or cookies to mix in, adding a fun crunch to the creamy ice cream.
Step 3: Process the Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami
- Once your ice cream base is fully frozen (after 24 hours), remove it from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine.
- Select the “Ice Cream” function on the Ninja Creami and allow it to process the frozen base. The machine will break down the frozen mixture into a smooth, creamy consistency.
Step 4: Add the M&Ms
- Once the ice cream has been processed, open the lid and fold in the chopped M&M candies and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or crushed cookies. You can either gently stir the M&Ms into the ice cream or use the “Mix-In” function on the Ninja Creami to ensure an even distribution.
- If you want more M&M pieces, feel free to top your ice cream with extra M&Ms before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Once your ice cream is mixed and ready, scoop it into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, drizzle with some chocolate syrup or top with a few whole M&Ms.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and colorful treat you’ve just created!
Tips for the Best Ninja Creami M&M Ice Cream
- Don’t Rush the Freezing: Make sure your ice cream base is frozen for at least 24 hours. The longer it freezes, the better the consistency once processed in the Ninja Creami.
- Customize the Add-ins: You can swap out M&Ms for other candy like Reese’s Pieces, chocolate chunks, or even toffee bits. The options are endless!
- Texture Variations: If you prefer a smoother ice cream, avoid chopping the M&Ms. However, if you like a bit more texture and crunch, chop them up before adding them.
- Add Swirls: For added flair, swirl in some chocolate syrup, caramel, or peanut butter before serving. It’ll give the ice cream an extra flavor boost!
