Bright, creamy, and bursting with citrusy goodness, this Ninja Creami Lemon Gelato is a refreshing dessert perfect for any occasion. With a velvety texture and zesty lemon flavor, it’s easy to make and feels like a scoop of sunshine in every bite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk (or substitute with lower-fat milk for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup half-and-half (or equal parts heavy cream and milk if unavailable)
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon-flavored instant pudding mix (for thickness and flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: Combine milk, half-and-half, sugar, pudding mix, and lemon curd in a blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined. Taste the mixture to ensure it’s balanced—adjust sweetness or tartness if needed.
  2. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, filling only up to the max line. Freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours at -7°F to 9°F. For best results, freeze without the lid to avoid bumps on the surface.
  3. Process in Ninja Creami: After freezing, secure the pint in the Ninja Creami machine and select the “Gelato” function. If the texture appears crumbly after spinning, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin until creamy.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Scoop out your perfectly creamy lemon gelato and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh lemon zest or berries for an extra touch of elegance!

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in chilled bowls to keep it from melting too quickly. Pair with shortbread cookies or biscotti for a delightful crunch.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use high-quality lemon curd for the best flavor.
  • Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before spinning if you prefer a softer texture.
  • Re-spin as needed to achieve your desired creaminess.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. For easier scooping after storage, let the gelato sit at room temperature for a few minutes or re-spin using your Ninja Creami machine.
