Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (296 ml) blueberry pie filling
- ½ cup (118 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (59 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine blueberry pie filling, whole milk, and heavy cream in a Ninja Creami pint container using an immersion blender to create a silky, uniform mixture.
- Flavor Calibration: Taste and fine-tune sweetness, acknowledging that freezing will slightly mute the overall flavor intensity.
- Freezing Protocol: Seal the container and position horizontally in the freezer for a full 24-hour crystallization period.
- Machine Setup: Remove the frozen mixture, transfer to the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl, securing it firmly within the appliance’s locking mechanism.
- Processing Cycle: Activate the Ice Cream setting, allowing the machine to transform the frozen base into a smooth, creamy dessert.
- Texture Refinement: Assess the initial result. If the mixture appears granular, utilize the Re-spin function to enhance smoothness and consistency.
- Final Adjustment: For persistently uneven texture, introduce small amounts of whole milk and re-spin until achieving a luxuriously velvety ice cream with optimal scoopability.
Notes
- Flavor Balancing: Taste and adjust sweetness before freezing, understanding that flavors will mellow during the freezing process.
- Freeze Timing: Allow a full 24-hour freezing period to ensure complete solidification and optimal ice cream preparation.
- Texture Troubleshooting: If the initial spin results in a crumbly mixture, use the Re-spin function and gradually add milk to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Equipment Precision: Ensure exact container placement in the Ninja Creami and securely lock the bowl to guarantee proper processing.
