Coffee ice cream in a dish.

We reviewed the Ninja Creami recently when we were given one to try out. I started making ice cream the first day I unboxed it and I have to admit that my freezer is now full of different variations. It all started with the basic Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream and blossomed from there, once I realized how simple it was to do.

If you have a Ninja Creami, or are thinking about getting one, this coffee ice cream is a great place to start. Read through the recipe below and you’ll see how simple it is. Just 5 ingredients and about 5 minutes of your time will give you a pretty great ice cream.

You do have to add in the 24 hours that is needed to freeze the mixture before churning, so do plan ahead by a day. It’s still a WAY faster method for making great ice cream.

Ingredients You Need

Ingredients for coffee ice cream
  • Instant coffee granules – You can use whatever instant coffee you like, from medium to dark roast.
  • Heavy whipping cream or half and half – heavy cream produces the creamiest result, but you can cut the calories and fat a bit by using half and half and it’s just as good (only a little less creamy)
  • Whole milk – Best to stick with whole milk for a more creamy ice cream.
  • Granulated sugar – You can also use a substitute sugar like allulose to make a sugar-free version.
  • Agave syrup – Liquid sweetener helps give the ice cream a creamier, smoother texture. You can use light corn syrup instead of agave.
  • Vanilla extract – Use a high quality extract for the best flavor. You can also use vanilla bean paste, if you want.

Equipment Needed

Ninja CREAMi Deluxe

There are two version of the Ninja Creami, but I’d suggest going with the Deluxe because it adds more features and churning power.

Make completely customizable ice cream, slushies, Italian Ice, Creamiccinos, sorbet, milkshakes, and frozen yogurt functions.

Helpful Tips for Making Great Ice Cream

  • If your ice cream turns out powdery the first time, it’s because the ice cream is very cold. Put it back in the machine and run the Re-Spin cycle. This will make the ice cream creamier.
  • The higher the quality of the ingredients you use, the better the ice cream will turn out. The quality of the vanilla extract and the Instant coffee has the highest impact on the flavor.
  • I’ve used half and half instead of whole cream a few times and it’s turned out really good, though not quite as creamy. You can try it both ways to see how you like it best.
