Equipment

  • Ninja Creami Swirl
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups milk any kind works, for a lighter option, skim or almond milk can be used
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream for a lighter version, try light cream or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Whip Up the Base: In a liquid measuring cup, combine the milk, vanilla pudding mix, and sugar. Whisk vigorously until the pudding mix and sugar are completely dissolved and the mixture is silky smooth.
  • Infuse with Flavor: Gently stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  • Freeze Solid: Pour this delightful mixture into your Ninja Creami Swirl pint container. Secure the lid tightly and place it on a level surface in your freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 24 hours – this step is key for the perfect soft serve texture!
  • Prepare to Process: Once fully frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off its lid. Carefully place the pint into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami Swirl machine, then securely attach the outer bowl lid.
  • Churn to Creaminess: Insert the outer bowl into the machine, twisting it firmly into place. Select the "Soft Serve" function, and then press the "Ice Cream" button. Let the machine work its magic until the cycle finishes.
  • Perfect the Consistency: If your soft serve isn't perfectly smooth and uniformly creamy after the initial cycle, simply use the "Re-spin" button for an additional churn.
  • Get Ready to Swirl: Remove the pint from the outer bowl and attach the special soft serve dispensing lid. Align the blue line on this lid with the blue line on the dispensing side of the machine, then insert the pint and twist to lock it securely.
  • Dispense Your Treat: Twist the white base of the pint until it reaches the "Open" position. Now, pull the lever of the machine to dispense your dreamy vanilla soft serve directly into a cone or bowl – enjoy!
  • Store & Clean: When you're done dispensing, press the "Retract" button and remove the pint. Don't forget to remove the dispensing lid, thoroughly clean the dispensing tube, and replace it with the regular lid for any leftovers.
