Instructions

Make Base

Place the pint on a level surface (you do not want ingredients to freeze at an angle as this will cause problems with spinning).
Combine any base ingredients (use medium bowl if many ingredients).

Freeze

Pour base into an empty CREAMi® Pint. Place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.

Process in Ninja Creami

Remove pint from freezer, remove lid from pint and blend in Ninja CREAMi.
Select the program that matches your base: ICE CREAM, GELATO or LITE ICE CREAM.
Remix 1-2 additional times as necessary. Can add splash of liquid if too thick.

Add Mix-Ins

With a spoon, create a 1½ -inch wide hole that reaches the bottom of the pint. Add your mix-ins to the hole in the pint.
Press MIX-IN program or hand stir in mix ins if preferred.

Leftovers and Storage Tips:

To maintain the quality of leftover frozen treats, flatten the top with a spoon or spatula before refreezing to prevent ice crystals.
If the treat becomes hard after refreezing, process it again using the same program. If it remains soft, enjoy it as is. Keep in mind that processing leftovers with mix-ins may create new flavors and textures.
