Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 1½ cups milk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 15 drops blue food coloring
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In your pint container, combine the milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream, raspberry extract, lemon extract, and blue food coloring. Whisk thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Freeze Overnight: Cover the pint container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
- Process with Ninja Creami: After freezing, use your Ninja Creami machine on the “Ice Cream” setting to process the frozen mixture into ice cream.
- Adjust Texture: If the ice cream texture is chalky or not as creamy as desired, create a hole in the center of the ice cream and add one tablespoon of water or milk. Then use the “re-spin” function to improve creaminess.
- Repeat If Needed: Repeat the texture adjustment step until the ice cream reaches the perfect creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the Blue Moon Ice Cream topped with your favorite sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles cereal, or cherries for an added decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- Use only the Ninja Creami or a similar ice cream maker designed for processing frozen bases to achieve the best texture.
- Adding liquid during the re-spin helps mellow the chalky texture that can develop from pudding mix.
- Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste.
- Keep the ice cream in the freezer when not serving to maintain texture and freshness.
