I always pick up fresh strawberries from Costco. If we don't finish them in two days, they go straight into the freezer for smoothies.
But now, with my Ninja Creami, those strawberries are turning into creamy homemade ice cream instead! With summer here, there's nothing better than enjoying a cool treat like strawberry ice cream.
If you're looking for more delicious ice cream flavors to try? You’ll love exploring options like pistachio ice cream, and even unique choices like Milo ice cream or avocado ice cream. If you're feeling adventurous, don’t miss out on fun flavors like peach and cream ice cream, azuki red bean ice cream, or the refreshing watermelon sorbet. There's something for everyone!
Now, let's eat more ice cream!!! 🍦🍦🍦

How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream in Ninja Creami?
- In a blender, combine strawberry, heavy whipping cream, milk, sweetener and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. 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.
- Scoop the strawberry ice cream into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such Trader Joes' Freeze Dried Strawberries.
Topping Suggestions
- Fresh Strawberry Slices: Add extra fresh strawberry slices on top for a burst of flavor. You can also use freeze-dried type which I used in the photo.
- Whipped Cream: A classic choice that adds a light and airy texture.
- Chocolate Sauce: Drizzle some chocolate sauce for a decadent twist.
- Crushed Nuts: Sprinkle crushed almonds, pecans, or walnuts for crunch.
- Granola: Add granola clusters for a delightful crunch and texture.
