Make a hole in your ice cream to the bottom of the tub about 2-4cm wide. Add the crushed chocolate sandwich biscuits and use the mix-in function on the machine. Serve.

How do you know when Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream is ready?

Your ice cream mixture will need to be frozen for at least 24 hours before it’s ready to be served. 

Remember to remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to scoop.

Can I freeze Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream?

You can make a big batch of this Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Ninja recommends flattening the mix before refreezing. Just remember to store it in a freezer-safe container with a lid. 

Label it with what’s inside and the date you first froze the ice cream. If your ice cream is still soft, there’s no need to re-spin the mix. If your ice cream is a little solid, you may want to re-spin it. It’ll break up the biscuits a little more, and the ice cream itself will still be scrummy.
