Healthy & Easy Ninja Creami Blizzard Dream! ✨
Create a delicious and healthier homemade Blizzard with your Ninja Creami! This easy recipe allows for endless customization with your favorite mix-ins, from fresh fruit to mini Reese's cups.
Equipment
- Ninja Creami
- Mixing Bowl
- Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk skim or almond milk for a lighter option
- 3/4 cup light whipped topping like Cool Whip Lite
- 1 Tablespoon Junket vanilla ice cream mix
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or use half-and-half for fewer calories
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini Reese's cups or choose fresh fruit, nuts, or dark chocolate for a healthier mix-in!, plus more for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Whisk It Up: In a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine your chosen milk, light whipped topping, and Junket vanilla ice cream mix. Use an immersion blender to blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth – it makes it super easy!
- Add Flavor & Freeze: Gently stir in the heavy cream (or your lighter cream alternative!) and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour this delicious mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, seal it with the lid, and place it on a level surface in your freezer. Let it chill and solidify for at least 24 hours – patience is key for the best creamy results!
- Creamify!: Once your pint is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the container into the Ninja Creami's outer bowl, secure the outer bowl lid, and then lock it into place on your Ninja Creami machine. Press the "Ice Cream" button and let the magic happen!
- Perfect Consistency: After the cycle completes, remove the pint and check its texture. If it appears a little crumbly, don't worry! Just place it back into the machine and press the "Re-spin" button for an even smoother finish.
- Mix-In Magic: Now for the fun part! Create a small well in the center of your creamy treat, about an inch wide and extending to the bottom of the pint. Add your favorite healthy mix-ins, like fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a small handful of mini Reese's cups, pressing them in gently. Put the outer bowl back into the machine and press the "Mix-in" button to perfectly incorporate your chosen goodies throughout the ice cream.
- Enjoy Guilt-Free: Serve immediately and savor your homemade, healthier Blizzard! Feel free to add a few extra mix-ins on top for garnish if you like.
