Serving
- When ready to serve, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Place the container in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the 'ice cream' setting and allow the machine to process the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- If the ice cream is too crumbly, simply run the machine again using the 're-spin' function.
- Scoop and serve or transfer to an airtight container for later enjoyment.
