Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons instant lemon pudding mix
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped lemon Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the milk and instant pudding mix until fully dissolved and slightly thickened. Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine.
- Freeze the Mixture: 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 flat surface for at least 24 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer, take off the lid, and place it into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami machine. Secure the outer bowl lid and process using the Ice Cream function.
- 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.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional): Create a small well in the center of the ice cream and add chopped lemon Oreo cookies. Use the Mix-In function to incorporate them evenly.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Garnish with fresh lemon zest or mint leaves for an elegant touch.
- Pair with iced tea or fresh fruit for a light summer treat.
Tips & Tricks:
- For stronger lemon flavor, add 1–2 teaspoons of lemon zest or ¼ teaspoon of lemon extract to the base before freezing.
- If re-spinning leftovers, let the pint sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before processing to soften slightly.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Re-spin in the Ninja Creami before serving to restore its creamy texture.
