This Ninja Creami blueberry ice cream is thick, creamy, and packed with real blueberry flavor, no pudding mix, no gums, no weird stabilizers. Just blend fresh or frozen berries with a few simple ingredients, freeze overnight, and spin into the most gorgeous purple scoops you've ever seen.
If you're already making strawberry ice cream, peach ice cream, or mango ice cream in your Creami, this blueberry version deserves a permanent spot in the rotation.

I buy those massive Costco blueberry packs with the best intentions โ half for snacking, half for "something special." Most weeks, they end up in the freezer before I can decide what that "something" should be.
This Ninja Creami blueberry ice cream started as a "let's actually use these" moment and quickly became one of the most-requested flavors around here. The deep purple color makes it Instagram-worthy, and the taste? Just as good as our strawberry, mango, peach, blackberry, and even dragon fruit ice cream experiments. (Yes, we've turned the freezer into a Creami flavor lab.)
Even my husband โ who typically side-eyes fruity ice cream flavors โ had seconds without complaint. From him, that's basically a standing ovation.

How to Make Blueberry Ice Cream Using Ninja Creami

- In a blender, combine blueberries, half and half, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, condensed milk and monk fruit. 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 "Lite Ice Cream" setting and let the Ninja Creami process the mixture. *see notes

- Scoop the Blueberry 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 itโs 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.
