Ingredients
  

Ninja Creami cookies and cream base
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 8 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed Fold in with the Mix-In function after processing.

Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami

Method
 

Blend the Ninja Creami base
  1. Blend whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and the cream cheese is fully incorporated, with no visible streaks.
Freeze the pint
  1. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leaving 1 inch of headspace, and tap to level the surface as needed.
  2. Freeze for 24 hours until solid.
Process into ice cream
  1. Process on the Ice Cream setting; if the pint is too firm, add 1 tablespoon milk and Re-spin to achieve a creamy, evenly processed texture.
  2. Use the Mix-In function to fold in crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, so cookie pieces are distributed throughout without clumping.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately for a dense, creamy scoopable texture, or return the pint to the freezer until ready to eat.

Notes

For best texture, freeze the full 24 hours so the pint is firm before processing; if it’s stubbornly solid, the 1 tablespoon milk + re-spin step prevents a dry, crumbly finish. Store covered in the freezer up to 2 weeks; texture may soften after thawing and re-freezing. Freezing yes (pint-ready), but avoid repeated melt/refreeze cycles. Dietary swap: use reduced-fat cream cheese or light cream to lower overall fat while keeping the creamy base.
