Blueberry Bliss Ice Cream
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cup (296 ml) blueberry pie filling
- ½ cup (118 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (59 ml) heavy cream
Sweetener:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a Ninja Creami pint container, whisk together blueberry pie filling, whole milk (237 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces), and heavy cream (237 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces) until perfectly homogeneous, using an immersion blender for an ultra-smooth consistency.
- Sample the mixture and incrementally adjust sweetness by incorporating granulated sugar, recognizing that the flavor profile will subtly diminish upon freezing.
- Seal the container with its corresponding lid, positioning it horizontally on a stable freezer shelf for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure complete solidification.
- Extract the pint from the freezer, detach the lid, and carefully transfer the container into the Ninja Creami’s designated outer bowl, ensuring precise placement.
- Securely mount the bowl within the Ninja Creami appliance, engaging the locking mechanism, then activate the dedicated Ice Cream processing cycle by pressing the designated button.
- Upon cycle completion, meticulously evaluate the ice cream’s textural integrity. If the mixture appears crumbly or fragmented, engage the Re-spin function to achieve optimal smoothness.
- Should the consistency remain unsatisfactory after initial re-spinning, incrementally introduce one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of whole milk and repeat the Re-spin process until achieving a luxuriously creamy texture.
Notes
- Freeze the mixture completely for at least 24 hours to ensure proper ice cream formation and texture.
- Use an immersion blender for a smoother, more consistent blueberry distribution throughout the mixture.
- Adjust sweetness before freezing since the flavor intensity changes when frozen.
- Keep extra milk on hand to help re-spin and achieve the perfect creamy consistency if the initial result is crumbly.
- Experiment with different pie fillings or fresh blueberries for unique flavor variations.
- Clean the Ninja Creami components immediately after use to prevent sticky residue and maintain machine performance.
