Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk
4 Tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
4–6 drops green food coloring
1/4 cup chopped Thin Mint cookies (approx. 4–6 cookies), plus more for garnish, if desired
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine milk and dry pudding mix. Whisk until the pudding mix has dissolved completely.
Add peppermint extract, heavy cream, and food coloring. Whisk until well combined.
Transfer mixture to a Ninja Creami pint container, being careful not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid and place the pint on a level surface in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
Remove pint from freezer, remove lid, and place pint container into the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl, securing the outer bowl lid. Lock it into the Ninja Creami machine.
Press the Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.
Check ice cream’s consistency. If crumbly, re-spin. If still crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk and re-spin.
Create a well in the center of the ice cream and add chopped cookie pieces. Lock pint back into the Ninja Creami and press the Mix-In button. Once complete, remove, scoop, and serve. Garnish with additional cookie pieces if desired.
