Maple Walnut Ice Cream With Maple Extract (Ninja Creami)
This Maple Walnut Ice Cream With Maple Extract is a creamy Ninja Creami recipe made with maple extract, pasteurized egg whites, Sugar in the Raw, cream, and walnut pieces. The finished ice cream has a rich maple flavor similar to classic store-bought maple walnut ice cream while using affordable grocery store ingredients.
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Pint With Lid
- Ninja Creami Machine
- Medium Bowl or Large Measuring Cup
- spoon
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Pasteurized Egg Whites
- ¼ Cup Turbinado Sugar Sugar In The Raw
- 1 Cup 18% Heavy Cream
- 4 Tsp Maple Extract
- Homogenized 3.25% Milk To Max Fill Line
Instructions
- Add the pasteurized egg whites and Sugar in the Raw to a medium bowl or large measuring cup/directly in pint. Stir until evenly combined. The sugar may not dissolve completely.
- Pour in the 18% cream and stir until smooth.
- Add the maple extract and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Add enough 3.25% milk to reach the max fill line and stir one final time.
- Place the lid on the pint container and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Remove the pint from the freezer and process using the Ice Cream setting.
- After the first spin, use a spoon to create a hole about 1½ inches wide and 2–3 inches deep in the center of the ice cream.
- Add the walnut halves to the center hole.
- Run the Mix-In cycle.
- Serve immediately for a smooth, creamy texture or freeze briefly for a firmer scoop.
Notes
Notes:
- Sugar in the Raw has larger crystals than regular white sugar and may not fully dissolve before freezing. Stir until evenly combined and don't worry if a few crystals remain.
- If a frozen hump forms on the surface of the pint during freezing, scrape it level before spinning. A warmed metal spoon works well for pressing down and smoothing raised areas.
- Avoid softening the entire pint in the microwave before processing. This can make the finished ice cream overly soft after spinning.
- If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, press gently with your finger before adding liquid or running a Re-Spin. Sometimes the ice cream has simply loosened and will compress back into a smooth, scoopable texture.
