Directions
Makes: 16oz · Servings: 4
1
Blend raspberries, milk, cream, and sugar. Strain seeds.
Pro Tip
Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth. Any chunks will become icy spots.
2
Pour into Ninja Creami pint container.
Pro Tip
Fill to the max fill line but not above — overfilling can cause the lid to pop off during processing.
3
Freeze for 24 hours.
Pro Tip
Place on a flat, level surface in the coldest part of your freezer. Uneven freezing leads to inconsistent texture.
4
Process using the Gelato function.
Pro Tip
If the machine struggles or the pint spins freely, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before retrying.
Common Questions
How long does Raspberry Gelato last in the freezer?
Once processed in the Ninja Creami, Raspberry Gelato is best enjoyed immediately for the creamiest texture. You can refreeze it for up to 2 weeks — just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before re-processing with the Re-Spin function.
Which Ninja Creami models can make Raspberry Gelato?
This recipe works with all Ninja CREAMi models — the 7-in-1 (NC301), Deluxe, XL Deluxe 11-in-1 (NC501), and Scoop & Swirl (NC701). It also works with discontinued models like the Breeze (NC100) and original 5-in-1 (NC300). The ingredients are sized for a standard 16oz pint. If you have a 24oz Deluxe or XL Deluxe model, use our built-in ingredient scaler to adjust the quantities up.
Is Raspberry Gelato easy to make?
Yes! This is a beginner-friendly recipe with just 4 ingredients and 4 simple steps. It's a great recipe if you're new to the Ninja Creami.
Is Raspberry Gelato suitable for special diets?
Yes, this recipe is: Gluten-Free. Always check individual ingredient labels to confirm they meet your specific dietary requirements.
What if my gelato comes out crumbly?
This is normal after the first spin. Select the Re-Spin function for a smoother, creamier result. If it's still crumbly after two re-spins, let the pint sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then try again.
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Yes! Fresh fruit works great — just blend it smooth before pouring into the Creami pint. The frozen fruit in this recipe is for convenience and sometimes creates a thicker base. Either way, the Creami will freeze and process it the same way.
What kind of milk should I use? Is whole milk the same as homo milk?
Yes — whole milk, homogenized milk (homo milk), vitamin D milk, and full-fat milk are all the same thing: 3.25% milk fat (MF). Do NOT substitute with 2%, 1%, or skim/0%. The fat is critical for creamy texture. International equivalents: UK "full-fat milk" (3.5%), Australia "full cream milk" (3.4%), France "lait entier" (3.5%). All work perfectly.
What's the difference between heavy cream, heavy whipping cream, and whipping cream?
Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are the same thing: 36% milk fat (MF). Use either interchangeably. Whipping cream (30-35% MF) works well too, slightly lighter. Half-and-half (10-12% MF) — do NOT use as a substitute. International equivalents: UK "double cream" (48% MF — use 3/4 the amount), Australia "thickened cream" (35% MF), France "crème entière" (30-40% MF).
Can I substitute a different sweetener for granulated sugar?
Sugar does more than sweeten — it lowers the freezing point and prevents icy texture. You can substitute with: allulose (best for keto — doesn't crystallize when frozen), coconut sugar (1:1 swap but darker color), or monk fruit blend (1:1 swap). Avoid liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup as a full replacement — they change the liquid ratio.
