Notes
- Freezing Time: Ensure the ice cream base is frozen solid for at least 24 hours before processing in the Ninja Creami. This helps achieve a creamy texture.
- Crumble Consistency: The crumble topping should be baked until golden brown and fully cooled before breaking it into pieces. This ensures a crunchy texture when mixed with the ice cream.
- Blending Apples: If blending apples into the ice cream mixture, do so in small batches to avoid overloading your blender and to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Ninja Creami Processing: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for processing times and settings. If the ice cream is too hard, let it soften slightly before processing.
- Optional Add-ins: Customize with additional toppings like caramel sauce or whipped cream, and adjust the amount of cinnamon or sweetness to your taste preferences.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within a few days for optimal freshness and texture.
