1. Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk?

While you can use low-fat milk, the ice cream may not be as creamy or rich. Whole milk is recommended for the best texture.

2. How long can I store the ice cream in the freezer?

Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within two weeks for the best flavor and texture. After this, it may develop ice crystals.

3. Can I use a different flavor of extract?

Yes! Feel free to use almond, coconut, or any other extract to create different flavor profiles for your ice cream.

4. Do I need to chill the mixture before freezing?

Chilling the mixture for at least an hour before freezing can help achieve a smoother texture when whipped in the Ninja Creami.

5. What if my ice cream is too hard after freezing?

If your ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping. You can also use the "Re-spin" function on the Ninja Creami to soften it.
