What You’ll Need
Equipment:
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
- Small saucepan
- Immersion blender (or a regular blender)
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peeled and chopped peaches (about 2 medium peaches)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup milk (whole works best)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Substitution Ideas:
- No fresh peaches? Use frozen or canned ones (just drain canned peaches well).
- Want it dairy-free? Swap whole milk for almond or oat milk, and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
- Watching your sugar? Try honey or a natural sweetener like monk fruit.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Peaches
Start by peeling and chopping your peaches. Toss them in a small saucepan with sugar and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes. The goal? Juicy, syrupy goodness that smells like peach pie. Once it thickens and reduces to about 1/2 cup, you’re good to go.
2. Blend It All Together
Pour the cooked peaches into a bowl or measuring cup. Add the milk and vanilla pudding mix. Blend everything until smooth (you can leave a few peachy chunks if you like).
Finally, gently stir in the heavy cream. Don’t skip this—it’s what makes your ice cream so rich and silky.
3. Freeze the Mixture
Transfer your mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Pop the lid on and freeze for at least 24 hours. Trust me, the wait is worth it.
4. Make the Ice Cream
The fun part! Take the frozen pint out of the freezer, lock it into your Ninja Creami, and hit the “Ice Cream” button. If it looks crumbly, no worries. Just use the re-spin function for that creamy, scoopable texture.

Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook the Peaches: In a small saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 3–5 minutes until the peaches soften and release their juices. The mixture should reduce to about 1/2 cup.
- Blend the Base: Transfer the peach mixture to a mixing bowl or large measuring cup. Add the milk and vanilla pudding mix. Blend with an immersion blender (or regular blender) until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream gently to combine.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Once frozen, remove the lid and place the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine’s outer bowl assembly. Lock it into place and select the “Ice Cream” setting.
- Adjust Texture (if needed): If the ice cream appears crumbly after processing, use the “Re-spin” function. For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of milk and re-spin again.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Top with fresh peach slices, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence. Pair with shortbread cookies for a delightful dessert combo.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor; canned or thawed frozen peaches work as substitutes if fresh ones aren’t available.
- Ensure the pint container is level in the freezer to avoid uneven freezing.
- Avoid over-blending heavy cream to maintain its rich texture.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftover ice cream in its Ninja Creami pint container with the lid securely fastened for up to one week in the freezer. If it hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving or re-spin in the Ninja Creami for a softer texture.
