Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Clean, dry, and chop the fresh strawberries into smaller pieces to make blending easier and ensure a smooth puree.
- Make Strawberry Puree: Add the chopped strawberries to a high-speed blender and blend on high until they become a smooth strawberry puree without large chunks.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, strawberry puree, and pure maple syrup until evenly combined.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid tightly and place the container on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours, but no longer than 48 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and place it in your Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Soft Serve" cycle and spin for approximately 4-5 minutes. If the texture is icy, add a splash of milk and re-spin until creamy.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional): If desired, add your favorite mix-ins to the ice cream and run the "Mix-ins" cycle for 1-2 minutes to incorporate them smoothly.
- Serve: Once the desired creamy texture is achieved, serve immediately and enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream.
Notes
- Freeze the mixture for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure it is fully frozen.
- If the ice cream texture is icy after the first spin, add a splash of milk and re-spin to improve creaminess.
- You can customize your ice cream by adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or cookie pieces during the final mix-in cycle.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- This recipe works best with the Ninja Creami machine, as it requires specialized spinning to achieve the creamy texture.
