Use Instant Pudding Mix: Regular cook-and-serve pudding won’t work as it requires heat to thicken. Instant pudding ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
Freeze for a Full 24 Hours: The mixture must be completely solid before processing in the Ninja Creami for the best results.
Re-Spin for Extra Creaminess: If the ice cream appears crumbly after the first spin, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and use the Re-Spin function for a smoother texture.
Dairy-Free Alternative: Use full-fat coconut milk or almond milk and a dairy-free pudding mix for a lactose-free version.
Customization Options: Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or nuts using the Mix-In function for extra texture and flavor.
Storage Tip: Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container and re-spin before serving to restore the creamy texture.
