Enjoy a nostalgic and vibrant Blue Moon Ice Cream made effortlessly with your Ninja Creami ice cream maker. This unique flavor combines creamy milk, subtle vanilla, raspberry, and lemon extracts, enhanced with a whimsical blue hue. Perfect for creating fun desserts like blue floats or topping with your favorite colorful cereals for an extra playful treat.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1½ cups milk
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 15 drops blue food coloring

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In your pint container, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, instant vanilla pudding mix, raspberry extract, lemon extract, and blue food coloring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Freeze Base: Cover the pint container and place it in the freezer for 24 hours to fully freeze the ice cream base.
  3. Process Ice Cream: Insert the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami ice cream maker and select the “Ice Cream” setting to churn the mixture into creamy ice cream.
  4. Adjust Texture: Check the ice cream’s texture after processing; if it’s chalky or less creamy than desired, create a hole in the center of the ice cream and add 1 tablespoon of milk or water. Use the “re-spin” function on the Ninja Creami to further smooth and improve texture. Repeat this step until the ice cream reaches a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately or store in the freezer. For extra fun, top your Blue Moon Ice Cream with sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles cereal, or cherries for added color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use this Blue Moon Ice Cream to make refreshing blue floats by adding a clear lemon-lime soda.
  • The flavor is reminiscent of Fruity Pebbles cereal, so try topping it with Fruity Pebbles, Fruit Loops, or Lucky Charms marshmallows for a playful twist.
  • For a unique flavor variation, add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg to the ice cream base before freezing to discover if it enhances the Blue Moon taste as some enthusiasts suggest.
