Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce or topping
- 2 tbsp fudge pieces or fudge swirl
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and seal with the lid.
- Freeze upright for at least 24 hours until completely solid.
- Remove the lid, place the pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl, and attach the paddle lid.
- Process using the “Ice Cream” setting.
- After spinning, make a well in the center and add the caramel sauce and fudge pieces or swirl.
- Use the “Mix-In” setting to incorporate the mix-ins.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or refreeze for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat dairy for the creamiest results.
- For swirl effects, gently stir in caramel and fudge with a spoon after spinning.
- You can re-spin the ice cream if it’s too crumbly after the first cycle.
- Freeze additional pints in advance for future batches.
