Soft Serve Dispensing — Scoop & Swirl Only

This recipe uses the soft serve dispensing feature, which is exclusive to the Ninja CREAMi Scoop & Swirl (NC701). You can still make the base on any Creami model and scoop it, but the soft serve texture and dispensing experience require the Scoop & Swirl. For other models, our regular ice cream recipes may give better results.
