Scale
Main Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) milk
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
Flavoring and Coloring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4–6 drops green food coloring
Cookie Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (40 grams) chopped Thin Mint cookies (approximately 4–6 cookies)
Instructions
- Gather all necessary ingredients and equipment, ensuring the Ninja Creami pint container is clean and dry.
- In a mixing vessel, thoroughly blend milk with dry pudding mix until a smooth, lump-free liquid forms.
- Incorporate peppermint extract, heavy cream, and food coloring into the mixture, whisking until uniformly combined and a vibrant green hue emerges.
- Gently transfer the liquid into the Ninja Creami pint container, being careful not to overfill beyond the maximum capacity line.
- Securely fasten the container’s lid and position it horizontally in the freezer, allowing the mixture to solidify completely for a minimum of 24 hours.
- After freezing, extract the pint from the freezer and carefully place it into the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl, ensuring proper alignment.
- Engage the Ice Cream function on the machine, permitting the full churning cycle to complete its process.
- Evaluate the ice cream’s texture; if the mixture appears granular or dry, introduce a tablespoon of milk and re-spin to achieve a smoother, creamier consistency.
- Delicately fold chopped cookie pieces into the center of the churned ice cream using the Mix-In function.
- Once the mixing cycle concludes, transfer the minty cookie crunch ice cream into serving vessels.
- Optionally, garnish with additional cookie fragments for enhanced visual appeal and textural contrast.
