FAQ

Can I use a different pudding flavor?

Yes, any instant pudding mix works. Vanilla creates a cookies and cream base, while chocolate makes double chocolate Oreo ice cream.

What if I don't have a Ninja Creami?

This recipe is specifically designed for the Ninja Creami's freeze-then-process method. Regular ice cream makers require different ratios and techniques.

How long will this keep in the freezer?

Properly stored ice cream stays fresh for up to 2 weeks. Cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and ice crystals.
