Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 3/4 cups 2% milk (Fairlife preferred)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add the 2% milk, instant coffee, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract into the Ninja Creami pint container. Whisk vigorously or use a coffee frother or immersion blender to fully blend the ingredients together until smooth.
- Freeze Mixture: Secure the ice cream container lid and place it in the freezer for 24 hours to solidify the mixture completely.
- Initial Spin: Remove the lid from the frozen container and insert it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ setting and initiate the spin cycle. After this first spin, the ice cream will appear crumbly, which is normal at this stage.
- Re-spin for Creaminess: Press the re-spin button two additional times. Each spin helps transform the texture from crumbly to a smooth, creamy, and velvety coffee ice cream.
- Serve: Once the ice cream reaches the desired creamy consistency, serve immediately with your favorite ice cream toppings for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add an additional 1 teaspoon of instant coffee during the mixing step.
- Instant coffee contains caffeine; if sensitive or serving as a nighttime snack, consider using decaffeinated instant coffee.
