Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store cookies and cream Ninja Creami ice cream for later?

You can store your ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container directly. Just put the lid back on and freeze it for the next day. 

You can just reblend it as you would when it’s completely frozen once you’re ready to enjoy it. Just keep in mind that the Oreo cookies mixed in there will become completely blended into the ice cream.

How long does it take to make cookies and cream Ninja Creami ice cream?

Making the ice cream doesn’t actually take that much time since the Ninja Creami machine churns everything together in less than 5 minutes. I would say the longest thing about this recipe would be the freezing because it takes at least 12 hours to freeze but per the instructions from the Ninja Creami manufacturers it is best to freeze the mixture for 24 hours. 

What variations or twists can you add?

  • Additions and Swirls: Create a visual appeal by swirling in peanut butter, chocolate fudge, or caramel.
  • Mix-ins: Crush, chop, and throw in some nuts, brownie chunks, chocolate chips, crushed candy, or marshmallow bits.
  • Flavor Enhancements: such as mint extract, espresso powder, or shredded coconut.

Are there any tips for achieving the perfect texture in cookies and cream Ninja Creami ice cream?

  1. Smooth Base Mixture:
    • Use Full-Fat Dairy: Full-fat milk and heavy cream will give you a creamier texture. Low-fat dairy products can make the ice cream icier.
    • Thorough Mixing: Ensure the base mixture is well-mixed and smooth before freezing. Any lumps can affect the texture.
    • Sugar Balance: Make sure your base has enough sugar, as sugar helps reduce iciness by lowering the freezing point.
  2. Proper Freezing:
    • Cold Ingredients: Chill the base mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours before pouring it into the Ninja Creami container. Starting with a cold mixture helps achieve a smoother texture.
    • Even Freezing: Freeze the mixture in the Ninja Creami container for at least 24 hours. Ensure the container is level in the freezer to promote even freezing.
  3. Processing in the Ninja Creami:
    • Follow Instructions: Follow the Ninja Creami’s instructions for processing the ice cream. Typically, you’ll need to run the ice cream cycle once and then re-spin it for a creamier consistency.
    • Re-spin if Needed: If the texture is still too icy after the first cycle, use the re-spin function to improve creaminess.
  4. Mix-in Stage:
    • Add Mix-ins at the Right Time: Add crushed cookies (or other mix-ins) during the mix-in stage rather than during the initial blending. This helps maintain the mix-ins’ texture.
    • Balance Mix-ins: Be mindful of the quantity of mix-ins. Adding too many can overwhelm the ice cream base and affect the texture.
  5. Consistency Adjustments:
    • Check Consistency: After processing, check the ice cream’s consistency. If it’s too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
    • Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing can lead to a too-soft texture. Aim for a smooth, creamy consistency without turning it into a liquid.
