Notes
Here are some important notes for making Ninja Creami Eggnog Ice Cream:
- Eggnog Consistency: Use a thick and creamy eggnog for best results. If your eggnog is thin, consider reducing the amount of heavy cream slightly to maintain a creamy texture.
- Chilling Ingredients: For quicker freezing, chill the eggnog and heavy cream in the refrigerator before mixing them together.
- Adjusting Sweetness: Taste the eggnog mixture before freezing and adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
- Ninja Creami Settings: Follow the specific instructions for your Ninja Creami machine for optimal freezing and churning. Monitor closely to achieve the desired texture.
- Optional Rum Flavor: The addition of rum or rum extract is optional but adds traditional eggnog flavor. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
- Freezing Time: Freezing time can vary depending on the Ninja Creami model and room temperature. Aim for a soft-serve consistency before serving immediately or firming up in the freezer.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in a sealed container in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too firm.
- Garnishing: Sprinkle with ground nutmeg or cinnamon just before serving for a festive touch.
