Ninja Creami White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
š« 1 cup of heavy cream
š« 1 cup of whole milk
š« 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
š« 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
š« 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
š 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries
š 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
š§ Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with lemon juice until they form a chunky puree. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the seeds out, but leaving them in adds a delightful texture.
- Once the white chocolate mixture is cooled, gently fold in the raspberry puree.
- Pour the mixture into a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to ensure it is completely chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and freeze for 24 hours.
- After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and install it into the Ninja Creami machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Select the “Ice Cream” mode on the Ninja Creami and let it process. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Once the cycle is complete, remove the pint and enjoy your homemade White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream!

The Delight of White Chocolate and Raspberries
White chocolate’s rich, buttery sweetness perfectly complements the tart and vibrant flavor of raspberries. This pairing is popular in many desserts, and for good reason. The contrast between the creamy white chocolate and the fruity raspberries creates a balanced and indulgent treat.
Tips for Perfect Ice Cream
- Chill Thoroughly: Make sure the mixture is thoroughly chilled before freezing in the pint container. This ensures a smoother texture.
- High-Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and creamy consistency.
- Texture Balance: Leave some raspberry seeds in for added texture, or strain them out if you prefer a smoother ice cream.
Customizing Your Ice Cream
- Raspberry Swirl: For a more pronounced raspberry flavor, reserve some of the puree to swirl in just before the final churn.
- Chocolate Chunks: Add white chocolate chunks or chips just before the final churn for an extra creamy bite.
- Nutty Twist: Mix in some chopped pistachios or almonds for a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- Waffle Cones: Serve your ice cream in homemade waffle cones for a delightful crunch.
- With Fresh Berries: Garnish with fresh raspberries for a burst of color and flavor.
- Drizzled with Chocolate: Drizzle melted white or dark chocolate over the top for an extra indulgent touch.
Storing Your Ice Cream
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
