Ninja Creami gingerbread ice cream is an easy ice cream to make and full of holiday flavors! Top with gingerbread cookies, gingersnaps, or even use as a mix-in.
Around this time of year, I love making holiday flavors of Ninja Creami ice creams. I've done cranberry, pumpkin, and now gingerbread. So delicious and easy to make.
This gingerbread Ninja Creami uses cottage cheese for a slightly higher protein version without using protein powder (28g protein in the entire pint). You can always use a scoop of protein powder if you want to increase the protein, but this recipe is perfect for those who want a gingerbread protein ice cream without protein powder.
Enjoy the gingerbread flavor in this ice cream and happy holidays!

How to make Ninja Creami gingerbread ice cream

Pour into your Ninja Creami container.
Freeze for 18-24 hours on a level surface in your freezer. After 18-24 hours, remove from the freezer.

Process on the lite ice cream setting.
Scoop out and enjoy!
For extra cuteness, you can top with gingerbread men/women or crushed gingerbread/gingersnaps.
Recipe tips
- I did not need to respin the ice cream. However, if your ice cream is not creamy, respin the ice cream. If it seems crumbly/powdery, add a small splash of milk and respin.
- I used whole milk, but you can use a dairy-free milk or another type of milk. I don't recommend flavored milk or coconut milk as those will alter the taste of the gingerbread ice cream.
- If you have leftovers, smooth out the top and return to the freezer. You may need to reprocess before enjoying again.
