Ninja Creami recipes
Steps
Weigh the ingredients directly into your Ninja Creami tub. My machine uses 470ml tubs and this recipe fits perfectly in one of these tubs. See notes for other machines.
Mix thoroughly to combine, ensuring you have incorporated all the condensed milk.
Place the mixture into the freezer without the lid for up to 24 hours. I find around 15-16 hours is enough for me, but your freezer might be warmer or colder.
When you are ready to use it, process your ice cream using the ice cream function. If it looks a bit balled up after the first spin, spin it again.
Serve alone, with mix ins or with a dessert of your choice. Place the lid on leftovers and process again when you need more vanilla ice cream. The Ninja Creami machine will successfully spin a half tub.

Kim on 2026-05-25 (5 stars): Made as directed with 150g of sweetened condensed milk and very happy with the results! Great flavor. Slightly soft, but I only waited about 19 hours vs. the full 24. We enjoyed it topped with strawberry rhubarb sauce.
Yoshi on 2026-02-14 (5 stars): So good! I’ve made it a few times but just realized that it says to freeze without the lid… what effect does this have vs freezing without the lid on? Thanks!
Jo Roberts on 2026-01-29 (5 stars): Now I'm not the biggest lover of ice cream, but my husband is.....hence a Creami being brought into our kitchen. Having made a few flavours from the Ninja recipe book, I stumbled across this recipe so we gave it a go. We have just eaten the whole tub at 10pm at night, just because it was SO GOOD!! The texture is creamy and silky, and I honestly think it is better than any other store bought ice cream I have ever tried. Thank you Georgia...I can't wait to try your other flavours!!
heidi on 2026-01-29 (5 stars): this is better than McDonalds mc flurries!!!! I have been trying to cut out additives in our home and this has been an absolute repeat in our home!!!! thank you for sharing this!!
Me on 2026-01-28 (5 stars): it was good. I put caramel and fudge in it and it tasted great! I would recommend putting more milk in before putting in Creami machine. 5 stars and would make again!!!!
Andi on 2025-12-08 (5 stars): This was honestly the best vanilla ice cream I’ve ever had! So silky and smooth, this one will be on repeat in our household for sure. Thank you for the recipe!
Craig Cullen on 2025-11-03 (5 stars): Flavor was amazing and mixing the ingredients takes no time at all. I used my Ninja and did the re-spin. It came out very soft so I saved half and put in the freezer. But hands down best flavor just need to figure out why mine was runny.
Annie on 2025-10-27 (5 stars): I have the bigger ninja so I had to quarter up the sizes. It worked well and me and my husband absolutely loved it. Didn't have to respin either. Super easy and better than store bought.
Ashlee on 2025-09-11 (5 stars): Finally a non protein recipe that works and tastes amazing!! I want to make a pumpkin pie inspired one… do you think I could just add the puree I think is enough to the ratios you already have and it’ll be fine?
Jess on 2025-07-15 (5 stars): Honestly... this is THE PERFECT recipe. It was my first attempt at using the creami and I'm not bothering experimenting with any other vanilla recipes. This is it for me forever! Thank you Georgia, you never go wrong.
Keli on 2025-07-11 (5 stars): Hello, lovely recipe thank you. I hav made this recipe twice and duplicated it using the caramel version of condensed sweetened milk. It was a little challenging to blend so I used the emulsion blender...came out beautifully. My thighs will carry the quality of this lovely recipe. Thank you
Diana on 2025-07-09 (5 stars): I just got the Ninja Creami Deluxe and it came with 2 XL cups and ordered 4 more cups with it. Now with a family of 5 I can have ice cream made up for everyone's liking. I honestly have to say this one thing. I just made the vanilla ice cream mix, I don't have to wait til tomorrow to say WOW!!! I made a little mix in my measuring cup just for a tiny taste test. Amazing, my mix in for one of them will be mini chocolate chip and the second one ( yes made 2 Creami cups) mix in will be banana with mini chocolate chips on top of scooped cream in a bowl.
