Ninja Creami Base Recipes

Classic Ninja Creami Vanilla Base

• This one is relatively easy to make.
• This is the classic vanilla base that uses cream cheese to give that perfect texture.
• This one does not include extra protein, so if you want to use this as your base recipe but also have protein, you may want to use protein powder or a protein shake.

Ninja Creami Cottage Cheese Base

• This is a delicious base recipe to use when you want creaminess and protein in your Ninja Creami ice cream.
• I like using cottage cheese to make high protein ice creams without powders or shakes.
• You usually don't need to blend the cottage cheese before freezing, but you can.
• If using cottage cheese, make sure you choose a low-acid/low-tang brand (and make sure it's fresh), otherwise your ice cream will have a tangy flavor. For some ice creams, this doesn't make a big difference, but with some ice cream flavors you definitely don't want the slight sourness cottage cheese can have.

Ninja Creami Ricotta Base

• This is my go-to when I want a high-protein base without worrying about the slight sour flavors that some cottage cheese brands can have.
• Ricotta has a fairly neutral flavor, so it lets the other flavors shine through when adding fruit or other flavorings.
• Ricotta is high protein, so this makes for a great high-protein Ninja Creami base.
• You don't need to blend the ricotta before freezing, just make sure it's properly mixed in with the other ingredients.

Ninja Creami Frozen Yogurt Base

• Yogurt makes a delicious high-protein base.
• You can use Greek yogurt or plain yogurt, just know that Greek yogurt is typically a little more tangy.
• A plain, unsweetened yogurt is best to use so you can experiment and add other flavors and mix-ins.

Ninja Creami Honey Base

• This honey ice cream base uses honey as its sweetener.
• This ice cream is made with eggs and a custard base, so it does take a little more effort than the other bases, but it's well worth it if you have the time.

Ninja Creami Sweetened Condensed Milk Base

• This is a delicious base to use when you don't want to add any sugar, since sweetened condensed milk is already sweet.
• This is one that works great with flavors like lemon, strawberry, or chocolate.
• This one does not add extra protein, so if you're trying to make a high protein Ninja Creami, you would want to add protein powder.
