1. Can I make this recipe without a Ninja Creami?

Absolutely! While the Ninja Creami is a fantastic tool, you can also use a steel bowl and a hand mixer. Freeze the ice cream mixture and then mix vigorously every 30 minutes until it's creamy and smooth.

2. What if I don't have Butterfinger?

No worries! You can substitute Butterfinger with your favorite candy, such as Twix, Snickers, or even crumbled cookies for varying textures and flavors.

3. Can I make this ice cream dairy-free?

Yes! Use almond milk or coconut milk as a base instead of half-and-half. Make sure to substitute the sweetened condensed milk with a dairy-free version available at grocery stores.

4. How long can I keep this ice cream in the freezer?

Your homemade Ninja Creami Butterfinger Ice Cream can last about 2-3 weeks in the freezer. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness!

5. Can I add more Butterfinger to the recipe?

Absolutely! If you prefer a more decadent ice cream, feel free to add more Butterfinger pieces into the mix during the churning process.
