Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
Optional Mix-in: 1/4 cup chopped maple sandwich cookies or nuts, such as pecans or walnuts
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine milk and instant pudding mix. Whisk together until the pudding mix has dissolved.
Add heavy cream and maple extract, stirring to combine.
Pour mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring not to exceed the max fill line. Close the lid and transfer to a level surface in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami, locking the lid into place.
Secure the outer bowl in the Ninja Creami machine, then press the Ice Cream button. Allow the cycle to complete.
Remove the pint from the machine and check the ice cream’s consistency. If it appears crumbly, insert it back into the machine and use the Re-spin button. If still crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk and Re-spin once more.
Optional: If adding a mix-in, use a butter knife or the handle of a wooden spoon to create a well in the center of the ice cream down to the bottom of the pint. Add your mix-in, then reinsert the outer bowl into the machine. Press the Mix-in button to incorporate.
Serve and enjoy!
