Equipment

Ninja Creami ice cream maker
Ninja Creami + pint container
Spoon for stirring

Ingredients

1½ cups frozen sliced strawberries
1 cup half and half
½ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla pudding

Instructions

Place the frozen sliced strawberries directly into the Ninja Creami pint container. Pour in the half and half, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla pudding.
Use a spoon to stir everything together in the pint. Make sure the liquids are mixed and the strawberries are distributed evenly throughout. It doesn't need to be perfectly smooth.
Seal the pint with the storage lid. Place it on a flat, level surface in your freezer and freeze for a minimum of 24 hours until completely solid.
Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the frozen pint into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami. Attach the creamerizer paddle and lock the lid assembly. Insert into the machine and select the "Ice Cream" function. Allow the cycle to complete.
After processing, check the consistency. If the ice cream appears dry or crumbly, create a small well in the center and add 1 tablespoon of milk. Select "Re-Spin" and process again. Repeat once more if needed for a smooth, creamy texture.
Your strawberry ice cream is ready to eat. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy right away.

Notes

Frozen vs fresh: Frozen strawberries work best because they're picked at peak ripeness. If using fresh, make sure they're ripe and sweet, and slice them before adding to the pint.
Sweetness adjustment: Taste your strawberries first. If they're tart, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup before freezing.
Re-spinning is normal: Most Ninja Creami recipes need at least one re-spin with a splash of milk. Don't worry if it looks crumbly after the first spin.
Storage tip: Leftover ice cream can be re-frozen in the pint container. When you're ready to eat it again, simply run it through the "Re-Spin" function to restore the creamy texture.
