How To Make Avocado Ice Cream Using Ninja Creami?
- In a blender, avocados, half and half, condensed milk, and vanilla. Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure it does not exceed the max fill line.
- Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 18-24 hours.
- After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the pint holder lid and lock it into place. Select the " "Ice Cream" setting and let the Ninja Creami process the mixture. *see notes
- Scoop the avocado ice cream into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
NOTE: If your mixture is still crumbly after the first spin, just hit the "Respin" button and keep going until it’s nice and creamy. Adding a tablespoon of cream or milk can help speed things up.
Normally, if you let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes after taking it out of the freezer, it usually won't need any spin.
