Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter texture)
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 5 drops stevia extract
  • 2 tbsp monk fruit sweetener

Substitutions:

  • Use coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • Swap frozen strawberries with fresh ones (freeze them first).
  • Replace stevia with honey or agave syrup if preferred.

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

  1. Combine heavy cream, frozen strawberries, vanilla extract, stevia, and monk fruit sweetener in a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 2: Freeze the Mixture

  1. Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the MAX FILL line.
  2. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for 18–24 hours until completely solid.

Step 3: Process in the Ninja Creami

  1. Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami machine’s holder and attach the blade assembly securely.
  2. Select the “Ice Cream” or “Soft Serve” setting and let it process for about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4: Re-spin if Needed

  1. If the texture seems crumbly after processing, use the “Re-spin” function to smooth it out.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

  1. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy as-is or with toppings like fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate chips.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in chilled bowls to keep it from melting too quickly. Pair with shortbread cookies or fresh fruit for an elegant touch.

Tips & Tricks:

  • For extra flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of extract—it adds beautiful vanilla specks to your ice cream!
  • Avoid overfilling the pint container to ensure even freezing and processing.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in the same pint container with a tight lid for up to one week in the freezer.
  • If it hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping or reprocess in the Ninja Creami.

This easy-to-make strawberry ice cream is not just a dessert—it’s an experience! Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day or serving guests, this recipe is sure to impress every time.
