Snickers Ice Cream

Once processed in the Ninja Creami, Snickers Ice Cream 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.

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.

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.

Extracts are highly concentrated — a little goes a long way. Start with the amount listed and taste the base before freezing. You can always add more, but you can't remove it. Peppermint extract is especially potent — even 1/4 teaspoon extra can make it overpowering.

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.

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).

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.
