2. Why the Ninja Creami Makes This Recipe Shine

Control your sweetness, raspberry intensity, and swirl texture in one versatile machine.
3. Ingredient Guide: What You Need (and Why)
Here’s what brings this recipe to life:
- Whole milk (1 cup) – foundation for creaminess
- Heavy cream (¾ cup) – creates luxurious texture
- White chocolate chips (½ cup) – melts into a smooth base
- Raspberries (1 cup fresh or thawed frozen) – for fresh berry flavor
- Sugar (⅓ cup) – balances berry tartness
- Sweetened condensed milk (2 Tbsp) – adds richness and stability
- Vanilla extract (1 tsp) – complements white chocolate
- Pinch of salt – enhances sweetness
Optional stir-ins:
- Extra white chocolate chips or chunks
- Raspberry purée swirl
4. Step 1: Make the White Chocolate Mixture
Start gently melting chocolate:
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, and sugar. Heat until warm, not boiling.
- Add white chocolate chips and whisk until fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
This creates a rich, velvety base—key for your ice cream’s creaminess.
5. Step 2: Prepare the Raspberry Component
Meanwhile, prepare your raspberries:
- For fresh berries: gently mash half of them to release flavor; leave the rest whole.
- For frozen berries: thaw slightly and mash half, leaving some whole for texture.
This approach ensures you’ll taste berry bursts throughout the ice cream.
6. Step 3: Assemble & Freeze
Once the chocolate base cools slightly:
- Swirl in raspberries gently—not fully mixing to maintain color streaks.
- Pour into Ninja Creami pint container (leaving headspace).
- Freeze flat for 24 hours until solid.
Full freezing is essential—ensures clean texture during spinning.
7. Step 4: Spin the Creami
After freezing:
- Load the pint into the Ninja Creami base and lock the blade.
- Select Ice Cream mode and spin.
- Check texture: if crumbly, add 1–2 Tbsp milk or cream and Re‑Spin.
- Repeat until ice cream is smooth and scoopable.
Texture should be creamy, with visible berry streaks and ribbons of white chocolate.
8. Step 5: Add Optional Mix-Ins
Want extra indulgence? After the first spin:
- Make a small well in the center.
- Add a handful of white chocolate chips or raspberry swirl.
- Use the Mix-In function to fold in evenly.
This step adds texture and visual appeal without overriding the main flavor balance.
9. Flavor and Texture Expectations
What should you taste?
- Creamy base with distinct white chocolate richness
- Bright, fresh bursts of raspberry
- Balance of sweetness and subtle tartness
- Silky, soft texture from the Creami spin
- Occasional mix-in crunch or swirl bite
Each spoon feels indulgent yet fresh.
