How to store Ninja Creami Blackberry Ice Cream

If there’s any ice cream left (no judgment here 😂), store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just know it’s best when fresh! If it gets too solid, pop it back in the Ninja Creami for a quick reprocessing to get that creamy texture back.

Tips to make Ninja Creami Blackberry Ice Cream

1. Want to reduce sugar? Use a sugar substitute or natural fruit sweeteners to keep it healthy.
2. For a creamier texture, consider using more heavy cream if you prefer richness.
3. Experiment with adding a splash of citrus like lemon juice for a zesty kick—since who doesn’t love a little twist?
4. Note: If you’re pushing your mixture through the Ninja Creami and it’s too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften before processing.
