Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 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
- Mix Ingredients: In your pint container, combine the milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream, raspberry extract, lemon extract, and blue food coloring. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. Cover the pint container securely and freeze it for 24 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami: After freezing, use your Ninja Creami machine on the “Ice Cream” setting to process the mixture into creamy ice cream.
- Check Texture: Remove the pint and check the ice cream’s texture. If it appears chalky or not creamy enough, make a hole in the center and add 1 tablespoon of water or milk.
- Re-spin for Creaminess: Use the Ninja Creami’s “re-spin” function to improve the texture. Repeat this step as necessary until the ice cream reaches the desired creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve your Blue Moon Ice Cream with optional toppings such as sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles cereal, or cherries to add extra flavor and color.
Notes
- Freezing the mixture for a full 24 hours is crucial to achieve the best texture when processing in the Ninja Creami.
- If you do not have a Ninja Creami, this recipe may not work as intended because the machine is designed to create a smooth texture from a frozen base.
- You can adjust the amount of blue food coloring for a lighter or more intense blue color depending on your preference.
- Adding a little milk or water during the re-spin helps break down any chalkiness and results in creamier ice cream.
- Experiment with different toppings to customize this ice cream for various seasonal or party themes.
