Ninja Creami Cookie Dough Ice Cream (Ingredients)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk – I use this for a lighter base, but any milk works.
• ½ cup heavy cream – This gives it richness and smooth texture.
• 3 tbsp monk fruit + erythritol blend – Sweet but without the sugar crash.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – Brings that warm, sweet flavor we love in ice cream.

Cookie Dough:

• ½ cup almond flour – I like this for a low-carb dough.
• 2 tbsp butter, softened – Adds moisture and flavor.
• 2 tbsp sugar substitute – Keeps the dough sweet.
• 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips – Chocolate is always a must.
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract – For extra flavor.
• Pinch of salt – Balances the sweetness.

For Creaminess Adjustment:

• 1–2 tbsp milk – I add this if the texture needs a little help while spinning.

Kitchen Tools Needed

• Ninja Creami machine
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk
• Spatula
• Freezer-safe container (comes with Ninja Creami)

How To Make Ninja Creami Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Step 1 – Make the Ice Cream Base
In a bowl, whisk almond milk, cream, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the Ninja Creami pint container. Cover and freeze for 24 hours.

Step 2 – Prepare the Cookie Dough
Mix almond flour, butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until it forms dough. Fold in chocolate chips. Roll into little chunks. Refrigerate until ready.

Step 3 – Spin the Base
Take the frozen pint out after 24 hours. Place it in the Ninja Creami. Use the Light Ice Cream setting. If it looks crumbly, add 1 tbsp milk and hit Respin.

Step 4 – Add Cookie Dough
Make a small well in the ice cream. Drop in the cookie dough pieces. Use the Mix-in function so they spread evenly.

Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy
Scoop into bowls or cones. Eat right away for the best texture.

Helpful Tips

• Always freeze the base for 24 hours.
• Use softened butter for smooth cookie dough.
• Don’t skip the Respin if texture looks dry.
• Keep cookie dough chunks small for easy mixing.
• Use whole milk instead of almond if you want richer flavor.

What to Enjoy With This Ninja Creami Cookie Dough Ice Cream

• Brownies – I love warm brownies with a scoop of this ice cream.
• Waffles – Fresh waffles make a sweet, crunchy match.
• Banana slices – Adds natural sweetness and balance.
• Whipped cream – Light topping that makes it extra fun.
• Coffee – I enjoy it with a cup of coffee for a café vibe.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?
Yes, you can use regular sugar if you prefer. The recipe works the same, but it will not be low-carb. I suggest using about the same amount for best flavor.

2. Do I have to use almond milk?
No, you don’t. You can use whole milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Each one gives a slightly different taste and texture, but all will work fine in the Ninja Creami.

3. How long does this ice cream keep in the freezer?
It stays good for about a week in the freezer. After that, the texture may get a little icy. I always recommend enjoying it fresh within the first few days.

4. Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough chunks if you want to keep them longer.

5. What if I don’t have sugar-free chocolate chips?
No problem! You can use regular chocolate chips or even chop up a chocolate bar. If you’re sticking with low-carb, go for a sugar-free brand instead.

6. Is the Ninja Creami the only machine I can use?
The Ninja Creami makes the best texture, but you can try blending the frozen base in a high-power blender. The results may be a bit different but still tasty.

7. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, just replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based butter for the cookie dough. The flavor will have a light coconut twist, but it’s still creamy.

8. Why is my ice cream crumbly?
It happens if the base doesn’t have enough liquid. That’s why the Respin step is important. Adding 1–2 tbsp of milk usually fixes the texture.

9. Can I double the recipe?
Yes, you can double the ingredients. Just make sure you freeze the base in two separate pint containers, since the Ninja Creami only works with one at a time.

10. Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Absolutely! Kids love the cookie dough chunks. If you’re making it for children, you can swap the sugar substitute with regular sugar for a taste they’ll enjoy more.
