Equipment

  • Ninja Creami machine
  • Ninja Creami + pint container
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling pin and zip-top bag

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini eggs crushed

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla until fully blended.
  • Transfer the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and smooth the top.
  • Freeze the container on a flat surface for at least 24 hours, until solid all the way through.
  • Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the Ice Cream setting.
  • If the texture appears crumbly, run the Re-Spin cycle once.
  • Make a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the crushed mini eggs.
  • Use the Mix-In setting to evenly distribute the candy pieces.
  • Serve immediately or freeze briefly to firm up.

Notes

  • Let the pint sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before spinning if your freezer runs very cold.
  • For chunkier texture, crush mini eggs roughly, not finely.
  • If storing longer than 3 days, re-spin before serving for best texture.
  • Add mix-ins only after the base has been spun once.
