Can I use regular milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?

You can, but the texture and sweetness won't be quite the same. Sweetened condensed milk is what gives this Ninja Creami Vanilla Ice Cream its signature lush, creamy consistency. 🤔

How do I know when the ice cream is done churning?

The ice cream is ready when it reaches a soft, scoopable consistency, usually after about 2 minutes of churning. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a grainy texture. 🕰️

Can I make this recipe without a Ninja Creami?

Absolutely! You can use a traditional ice cream maker to churn this vanilla ice cream. Just follow the same steps, but churn the base according to your ice cream maker's instructions. 🍨

How do I get the ice cream extra smooth and creamy?

The key is to let the base chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours) before churning. This helps develop the rich, velvety texture. You can also try using half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for an even creamier result. 💫

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Simply swap out the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for your favorite non-dairy alternatives, like coconut cream and plant-based sweetened condensed milk. The end result will be just as delicious and creamy. 🌱
