Equipment
- Blender
- Ninja Creami
- Ninja Creami Pint Container
Ingredients
- 8 fl oz 2% Milk
- 4 fl oz Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup Allulose Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 1/3 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 4 drops Red Food Coloring Optional, for a romantic blush!
- 5 Starlight Mints Crushed, or use candy canes for extra festive crunch!
- 1-2 tablespoons 2% Milk Optional, for re-spinning for perfect creaminess
Instructions
- Combine the Base: In a blender, combine the 2% milk, unsweetened almond milk, allulose, sugar-free instant white chocolate pudding mix, peppermint extract, and optional red food coloring. Blend until everything is perfectly smooth and well mixed. This step ensures a wonderfully creamy and healthy base.
- Freeze Overnight: Carefully pour your blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure to place it on a flat surface in your freezer and let it freeze solid for at least 24 hours. For the best results, your freezer temperature should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Creamify: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer. If a slight dome or bump has formed on top, gently level it by scraping or melting it slightly. Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami's outer bowl and process it using the "ICE CREAM" function.
- Achieve Perfect Texture: Check the texture. If it looks a bit powdery or crumbly, just add 1-2 tablespoons of the optional 2% milk and select the "RE-SPIN" function. If the ice cream looks more like small balls, re-spin without adding liquid. Repeat the re-spin process if needed until you get that irresistible, smooth, and creamy ice cream consistency.
- Add Your Sweet Swirl: Create a small well in the center of your creamy ice cream. Pour in the crushed starlight mints (or candy canes for a holiday touch). Place the pint back in the machine and process using the "MIX-INS" function. This will beautifully swirl the minty bits throughout your healthy treat!
