Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1½ cups milk
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 15 drops blue food coloring

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In your pint container, combine the milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream, raspberry extract, lemon extract, and blue food coloring. Whisk thoroughly to mix all ingredients evenly.
  2. Freeze Mixture: Cover the pint container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the mixture to freeze completely.
  3. Process in Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and process it in your Ninja Creami machine using the “Ice Cream” setting to turn the frozen block into ice cream.
  4. Adjust Texture: If the ice cream texture seems chalky or less creamy than desired, create a small hole in the center of the ice cream, add 1 tablespoon of water or milk, and use the “re-spin” function to improve creaminess.
  5. Repeat if Needed: Continue to add small amounts of liquid and re-spin until the ice cream reaches the perfect creamy texture.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve the Blue Moon Ice Cream topped with your favorite sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles cereal, or cherries for a fun and colorful presentation.

Notes

  • Use a pint-sized container compatible with your Ninja Creami machine for best results.
  • The instant vanilla pudding mix helps create a smooth, creamy texture without the need for an ice cream maker.
  • Adding liquid and re-spinning adjusts texture if the ice cream is too dense or chalky after the first spin.
  • Feel free to experiment with toppings like sprinkles, cereals, or fresh fruit to customize your dessert.
  • Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature before re-spinning for better texture results.
