Let’s make this ice cream recipe sound more like your chatty neighbor shared it over the fence:
leans in Okay, real talk – I almost melted into a puddle during last week’s heatwave. That’s when I cracked the code on this peach-lemon ice cream that’s easier than teaching your cat to high-five. Seriously, my Ninja Creami’s been working overtime!
What you’ll grab:
- 1 juicy peach (the kind that drips down your arm)
- ⅓ cup sugar (white or coconut both work)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup milk (whole works best)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (the good stuff)
Let’s do this:
- Pit that peach like you’re removing a splinter – peel optional but recommended
- Toss everything except the cream in your blender. Whirl until smoother than a jazz playlist
- Stir in the cream gently – no need to whip it good
- Freeze overnight (this is when you binge that show everyone’s talking about)
- Next day: Ninja time! Hit the ice cream button and watch the magic
Pro tips from my kitchen fails:
- Too icy? Add a splash of milk and respin
- Try lime instead of lemon for a tropical twist
- Mix in crumbled shortbread cookies post-spin (trust me)
- Coconut milk swap makes it dairy-free
The best part? You’ll look like a dessert wizard but really just pushed a button. My book club still thinks I slaved over it – our secret!
Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream
Summer’s creamy dream with a citrus kick – no fancy skills required 🍑
- Prep Time: 15
- Total Time: 24 hours 15 minutes (Including Freezing Time)
- Yield: 3-4 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
(No grocery acrobatics needed)
- 1 peach (so ripe it practically sweats juice)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend the base: Pit + peel the peach. Toss it in a blender with sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whirl until smoother than a jazz sax solo.
- Mix the cream: Pour into your Ninja pint container. Stir in heavy cream gently – we’re making ice cream, not whipped topping.
- Freeze & forget: Seal tight. Level in freezer. Pretend it doesn’t exist for 24 hrs (Netflix helps).
- Ninja time! Pop frozen pint into machine. Hit “Ice Cream” – watch science do its thing.
- Fix if needed: Crumbly? Add 1 tbsp milk, respin. Still off? Blame your freezer’s drama.
Notes
- Shortcut: Use frozen peaches if fresh aren’t juicy
- Dairy-free? Swap cream+milk for full-fat coconut milk
- Serving hack: Crumble shortbread cookies on top (trust me)
- Storage: Keep in pint container ≤1 week. Freezer-burned? Respin with extra milk!
“It’s like summer punched you in the tastebuds – in the best way.
