Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups milk (whole milk recommended)
- 4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon red raspberry extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 15–20 drops blue food coloring (or to preference)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding mix until smooth and lump-free. Stir in the heavy cream, raspberry extract, and lemon extract. Add blue food coloring a few drops at a time, stirring until you reach your desired shade.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Cover tightly and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.
- Process: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Secure the lid and lock it into the machine. Press the “Ice Cream” button to process.
- Adjust Texture: If the ice cream appears crumbly or powdery, press “Re-spin.” For extra creaminess, add 1 tablespoon of milk to the center and re-spin again if needed.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or Fruity Pebbles for added fun!
Tips & Tricks:
- Use high-quality extracts for authentic flavor. Raspberry extract can be substituted with strawberry extract if unavailable.
- For dairy-free options, substitute almond or oat milk for regular milk and canned coconut cream for heavy cream.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in the pint container with the lid tightly secured for up to one week in the freezer.
- To restore creaminess after storage, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before re-spinning in the Ninja Creami.
