Steps by step instructions

How to make the Sugar Free Eggnog Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami?

STEP 1: Prepare the Base

• In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, combine the almond milk and heavy cream.
• Whisk the two together until well-mixed and warmed, creating the creamy base for the ice cream.

STEP 2: Infuse Flavor and Texture

• Gradually add sugar-free vanilla pudding, protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and, if desired, rum extract.
• Continue to whisk the mixture, ensuring the incorporation of all ingredients for a flavorful and textured ice cream base.

STEP 3: Temper and Integrate Egg Yolks

• In a small bowl, whisk the two large egg yolks until well beaten.
• Take two tablespoons of the ice cream mixture and slowly add it to the egg yolks, whisking vigorously. This tempers the eggs.
• Incorporate the tempered egg yolks back into the main mixture, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.

STEP 4: Cool and Set

• Allow the combined mixture to cool to room temperature.
• Once cooled, pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint, secure with the lid, and place it in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hours to set and intensify the flavors.

STEP 5: Final Touch in the Ninja Creami

• After the 24-hour setting period, retrieve the pint from the freezer.
• Run the sugar-free eggnog ice cream through the Ninja Creami machine, using the "smoothie" button to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
• Serve and relish in the deliciousness of your homemade Sugar-Free Eggnog Ice Cream!
