- 3 tablespoons instant sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- ½ cup heavy cream or canned coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk and pudding mix until fully dissolved. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
- Add Cream and Vanilla: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Freeze 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.
- Churn Ice Cream: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Lock it in and select the “Lite Ice Cream” function.

- Avoid overfilling the container to ensure proper freezing and churning.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in the original pint container with the lid secured for up to two weeks in the freezer.
- To soften leftovers, let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes or re-spin in the Ninja Creami before serving.
