How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making our ice cream! Follow these simple steps:

1. Add all ingredients to the Ninja Creami pint container except for the Oreo Thins and whisk until ingredients are thoroughly combined. *I recommend taste testing at this step to make sure that your mixture is sweet enough for you. If needed, add a teaspoon of additional sweetener like table sugar or honey.
2. Freeze for 24 hours.
3. Run lite ice cream mode x1.
4. Run respin mode x2. (If the mixture is still crumbly at this point, use a very small splash of milk and spin a final time)
5. Create a small opening in the center of the ice cream pint and add Oreo thins. Run mix-in mode x1.
6. Top with more Oreos and any other toppings that you love!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your ice cream turns out perfectly:

• For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat options.
• Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for a unique twist.
• If you’re looking for a healthier option, try using sugar-free pudding mix and reducing the sugar.
• Make sure to freeze the mixture for a full 24 hours for the best texture.
• Don’t skip the taste test! Adjust the sweetness to your liking before freezing.

How to Serve

This Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream is perfect for serving at family gatherings or as a sweet treat after dinner. Here are some serving suggestions:

• Serve in bowls topped with extra Oreo pieces and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
• Pair it with a slice of your favorite cake for a delightful dessert.
• Use it as a filling for ice cream sandwiches with your favorite cookies.
• Enjoy it alongside a bowl of creamy garlic pasta for a fun dinner combo!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this ice cream ahead of time, it’s super easy! Just follow the recipe and store the ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container in the freezer. It can last for up to two weeks, but I doubt it will last that long because it’s just too delicious! If you find it gets a bit hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

So, there you have it! A delightful, creamy treat that’s perfect for any occasion. I hope you enjoy making this Cookies and Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream as much as I do.
