Equipment

  • Ninja Creami + pint container
  • Whisk or immersion blender
  • Mixing bowl or jug
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cranberry sauce
  • cups half and half
  • 3 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a bowl or jug, whisk together half and half and pudding mix until no lumps.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add cranberry sauce and gently blend, leaving some berry bits.
  • Pour into Creami pint, level surface, cap, and freeze flat for 24 hours.
  • After freezing, attach pint to outer bowl and spin on the “Ice Cream” mode.
  • Inspect texture; if crumbly, re-spin. If still not right, add 1 tablespoon half and half and re-spin again.
  • Scoop to eat or reseal and store.

Notes

  • Always freeze on a level shelf.
  • Pudding mix helps prevent large ice crystals.
  • Don’t overfill — stay below the max line.
  • Add mix-ins after first or second spin.
  • If texture weakens over days, re-spin.
