Okay, so I finally caved and got a Ninja Creami. I’d been seeing all these amazing frozen yogurt recipes online, and I just had to try it out myself. Let me tell you, it’s a game-changer! Here’s how I made my first batch, and it turned out surprisingly well.
Getting Started: The Ingredients
First, I needed to gather my ingredients. I wanted to keep it simple, so I went with:
- Greek Yogurt: I used a big tub of plain, full-fat Greek yogurt. The full-fat stuff is key for a creamy texture.
- Sweetener: I’m trying to cut back on sugar, so I used a few tablespoons of honey. You could use maple syrup, agave, or even regular sugar.
- Vanilla Extract: Just a splash, for that classic flavor.
- Fruit(optional): if you love fruit,put some you love.
Mixing It Up
I grabbed a large bowl, dumped in all Greek Yogurt, add honey, and a splash of vanilla extract. I take a whisk to mix well until everything is smooth, make sure that no lumps.
Into the Creami Pint
Once I mixed up, I have to pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure not to fill it past the max fill line,I almost messed that up! Then, I popped the lid on and stuck it in the freezer.
The Waiting Game (The Hardest Part!)
Now, this is where patience comes in. The mixture needs to freeze solid, which takes at least 24 hours. I know, it’s torture! But trust me, it’s worth the wait. I just set a reminder on my phone so I wouldn’t forget about it.
The Creami Magic
After a long 24 hours, finally get to use the Ninja Creami! I took the pint out of the freezer, removed the lid, and placed it into the outer bowl assembly. Then, I locked the outer bowl lid and put the whole thing into the machine.
I selected the “Frozen Yogurt” setting, pressed the button, and watched it go. It’s kind of mesmerizing to watch the blade spin and churn the frozen yogurt. It took a few minutes, but you could see it starting to get creamy.
The Final Result!
When the machine stopped, I carefully took everything apart. And there it was: perfectly smooth, creamy frozen yogurt! I scooped some into a bowl. The texture was spot on, and the taste was delicious.
Honestly, this was way easier than I thought it would be. The Ninja Creami is definitely going to be my new go-to for making frozen yogurt and other treats. Next time, I’m thinking of adding some fruit or maybe even some chocolate chips. If you’ve been thinking about getting a Creami, I’d say go for it! You won’t regret it.
