Choosing Your Milk

How to Make Maple Vanilla Ninja Creami

1. Whisk the ingredients together

Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple-flavored syrup, salt, and vanilla pudding mix to a bowl or container.

Whisk everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and the pudding mix is well incorporated.

2. Freeze the pint

Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint, making sure you stay within the fill line.

Place the pint in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours. This step is important for getting the best texture when you spin it.

3. Spin until creamy

Once your pint is completely frozen, place it into your Ninja Creami and spin according to your machine's settings.

If the texture isn't quite as creamy as you'd like after the first spin, use the appropriate re-spin setting according to your machine's instructions.

4. Add your toppings

Now comes the fun part!

Scoop your creamy maple vanilla treat into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Try fresh berries, crushed cookies, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Or, of course, enjoy it exactly as it is—the maple and vanilla flavors are delicious all on their own.

Topping Ideas

The topping possibilities are practically endless! Here are a few combinations to try:

🍓 Berry Bliss: Fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.

🍪 Cookie Crunch: Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or your favorite crunchy cookies.

🍫 Chocolate Lover: Chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

🥜 Nutty & Crunchy: Chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts.

🍁 Extra Maple: A drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra cozy finish.

Tips for the Best Ninja Creami

Freeze for the full 24 hours. Giving the base enough time to freeze completely helps the Creami create the right consistency.

Whisk thoroughly. Make sure the pudding mix is fully incorporated before freezing so you don't end up with clumps in your finished treat.

Don't forget the toppings! The creamy maple vanilla base is a great starting point for experimenting with different flavors and textures.

Make a few pints at once. If you have room in your freezer, prep multiple pints so you'll have an easy frozen treat ready whenever the craving hits.
