Ninja Creami coffee ice cream is simple to make and requires just five everyday ingredients for a creamy, coffee-forward treat.
When you want both coffee and ice cream, this Ninja Creami version delivers. I’ve always loved coffee ice cream, and this recipe recreates that classic flavor using ingredients you likely keep on hand—especially if you brew coffee regularly.
The method is straightforward and makes a rich, scoopable ice cream with minimal fuss. The cottage cheese adds body and protein while the brewed coffee provides the clear coffee flavor.
Ingredients
- Brewed coffee
- Milk
- Cottage cheese
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
How to make Ninja Creami coffee ice cream
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, seal, and place it on a level surface in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 24 hours on a flat, level surface to ensure an even texture.
Before processing, hold the pint under warm water for about one minute, running water around the outside to loosen the outer layer. Process on the Ice Cream setting in the Ninja Creami. The first spin may produce a dense, crumbly texture; press it together with a spoon or add a splash of milk and respin for a softer, smoother result.
The finished Ninja Creami coffee ice cream should be scoopable and flavorful. Fold in mix-ins like chopped chocolate, cookie pieces, or nuts if you like.
Recipe tips
- Warming the outside of the Creami pint before processing helps the machine shave and combine the frozen base more effectively, giving a smoother final texture.
- If you have leftovers, smooth the surface, return the pint to the freezer, and reprocess before serving to restore scoopability.
- Use brewed espresso instead of regular coffee if you prefer a stronger, more concentrated coffee flavor.
