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.

Serving Tips

- Leftovers (if there are any!): Store in the pint container with the lid on tight. It’ll keep in the freezer for about a week. Just let it soften for 5 minutes before serving—or give it another spin in your Creami.
