I use lemon zest taken in large strips with a vegetable peeler, covered with the sugar to draw out the oil, and add Lemoncello for the alcohol and extra flavor. Family raved about it for both taste and texture, and it keeps in the freezer for at least two months when churned with a standard machine.
Thanks to Sam’s club, I now own both an extra large bottle of lemon extract, which sounded like a good purchase at the time, and now a creami. After this video, I’m convinced it was all apart of a master plan. Thank you!
Can you please explain what half & half is in terms of fat percentage (here we only have slagroom (cream) skimed, semi skimed or full fat milk). Which combo should i use?
Ah yes, this is PART I of the hazelnut Creami recipe. I think because I have a Deluxe, I take your quantities x 1.5 to get two Deluxe 'pints'. Looking forward to giving this a try. I love both lemon and hazelnut coffee!
Yep, I won’t always do the two flavors but the first few videos are to show how quick and easy it is too get good ice cream. From the next filming onwards, I’ll be taking ninja cream owners on a luxury journey towards ice cream heaven 😂
could it be made using lemon juice and thicken it with stabiliser then add to milk mix. similar to how you would add stabilised strawberry coolie to milk mixture for strawberry ice cream
No because you’re just adding water, acid and then thickening it. The recipe will literally go out the window! Sugars will be wrong, it will likely curdle too.
I made this recipe and used Frontier’s brand alcohol based Lemon flavoring and Target’s brand ‘Good & Gather’ sweetened condensed milk. I doubled the lemon flavor because it just tasted like condensed milk, still not lemony. Dumped some blueberries in and called it blueberry lemon! I wonder which one of the two ingredients were the problem.
I had the same issue. I used Nilson Massey Lemon extract and Eagle brand (Borden) sweetened condensed milk and I also doubled the lemon flavor. I froze and then spun 48 hours later, and it smelled like lemon but tasted like vanilla. So strange.
Just received our Nija Creami today based on your channel and this is to be the first try out. Love the channel but I'm going to be biased here and suggest more Ninja based recipes :-) And as for requests.... Peanut Butter Ice Cream and a Five Guys Peanut Butter style Milk shake for me !
Looks great but I'm in the UK is half and half, single cream mixed with full fat milk? And can I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk? Any chance you can put The manufacturer's name of the alcohol-based flavouring as many many of the ones I've seen tout that alcohol-free but none actually tell you that it has alcohol in
Corn syrup is an invert sugar yes but there are others. Making this vegan would change it a fair bit. I do plant based video though so will talk about how to change n
@@PolarIceCreamery Oh, grand, I have that somewhere in the back of a cupboard. Cheers! I'll wait til your machine recommendations video before getting one, tho!
I prefer a very dense ice cream that freezes hard, like for hand scooping, vs soft serve or creamy. Should I omit the corn syrup in this case? looking forward to trying the lemon, btw. yum!
I’m looking forward to make this, thank you! I have a large family and ice cream doesn’t last more than a day. My goal is to get an ice cream that is smooth and creamy. Do you have ideas for people like me who don’t care if in a month something is still scoopable?
I do and THANK YOU for actually saying this, I love this kind of interaction. People asking for something specific really helps me make videos that people want 👍👌✌️ ninja creami videos coming every other week.
Hello! I’m a brand new owner of Creami and can’t wait to try your recipes! Quick question: you use corn syrup as invert sugar in all your recipes (so far that I’ve watched). What can I substitute it with? Would maple syrup do? Also, is white chocolate optional for this particular recipe? Thank you so much!
Welcome! Yes you could use maple syrup, golden syrup, glucose syrup, honey etc. I only use it occasionally depending on the recipe. You can just buy invert sugar on Amazon but it’s also super easy to make at home. Yes any add-in is optional in any recipe 👍
Oh good, a reason to break out the Ninj Cremi again. Based on one of your videos I purchased the Cuisinart ICE-100 and I haven’t looked back. It makes the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten, but I did have a lot of fun with the Cremi. Thank you for your wonderful (and educational videos). Have you ever used a small amount of Polyethylene Gylcol as an anti-freeze in your ice cream?
Nice I really enjoyed your video! I'm going to try that hazelnut recipe with an Instant Pot Dulce de Leche condensed milk. I still don't understand the idea of putting ice cream BACK into the freezer but I suppose theoretically it could work ;-)
A stabilizer wouldn’t do anything. If you want real lemon, grate the zest of 1 lemon in to the other ingredients and add 25g of sugar. That will eliminate the extract and give you real lemon flavour 👍
@@PolarIceCreamery Thank you so much. I really appreciate your response 😊 Your Channel is still much underrated… I‘m sure it will rise a lot! Btw. I would love another Milk Shake Video, maybe with the ninja as well?
@@PolarIceCreamery Hi Nick, just watching your videos but I cant seem to pinpoint the UK equivalent. I ended up making my own half and half by adding double cream to milk, and making up that 33-35% fat. Is there a better option out there? Also the measurements given make more than 1 Creami tubs worth, do you reccomend making more than one tubs base, or can i just scale down the ingredients? Thanks!
Fellow Brit and Creami owner living in Ottawa 👋🏻. Could you add lemon curd as a mix in to the lemon gelato? My favourite is maple walnut, I reduce the sugar from the Creami recipe book to 1/4 cup as I don’t like stuff too sweet. Thank you
Hi all the way over the other side 👋 we are coming to visit next year! Yeah lemon curd would be delicious! I’d probably run the spin twice then spoon the curd through otherwise it would be too thin.
@@PolarIceCreamery why on earth would you come to Ottawa? Nothing to do here, it shuts down by 1900. Go to Montréal or Quebec City, they are fantastic cities.
Hi Nick, fantastic channel you have!! I have a question, is there an ingredient alternative for milk and milkpowder for people with an allergy for milkproteins? I would appreciate a lot to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance. Cheers from Holland.
Hi 👋 🌷 well the milk is easy as you can use something like cashew milk. If he milk solids (skim milk powder) is slightly harder but you could use use coconut milk powder and adjust the fat content slightly. You can also use something like Maltodextrin and inulin combination.
Do you have a good recipe without sugar? I want it to be like Haagen Dazs vanilla but without the sugar. I don't like sweeteners really but I've heard that Allulose is good bcs it's an actual sugar but the body don't process it like a sugar.
@@PolarIceCreamery i got the glycerin! :) How much should I use? And should I omit the xantham gum (which i use for creamy texture) when using glycerin?
In Germany we have 10% fat condensed milk and regular sweetened condensed milk. Should I just use condensed milk then? Your recommendation sounds a little like condensed milk Ice cream if you ask me. But I will try. I hope to find great recipes on your channel! This is my first recipe from you.
Which freezing point has alcohol that just 2 granms massively impact the freezing point of the ice if i don't have Alkohol based flavours can't i just ad 2 ml of vodka?
No one has said “massively“, Ice cream is a science. It’s a careful balance of ingredients. Put vodka in if you like, you’ll have flavourless ice cream….. 2g per 500g can impact a result perfectly. Ethanol and Glycerin both impact freezing point more than sugar hence why it’s used in this recipe.
@@PolarIceCreamery for my perception massively that's what I meant ☺️ in correlation to the amount it's impressive that it has such a impact. I meant with adding vodka that I'll use my non alcohol based flavours and add some vodka for the enhanced texture I was wondering if this would work or is there more things to consider
@@Xbox360gamer5000 there are usually two types of flavouring, alcohol based and glycerin based and both will do the same thing. You can actually go up to 5g per 500g of extract here and it will be fine.
I have a question regarding invert sugars. Will I get the same or similar results when using powdered dextrose in place of the glucose syrup you showed in the video, when mixing it with some water and boiling it? I live in Germany and can buy powdered dextrose straight from the supermarket for pretty cheap, but glucose syrup is only available online and at much higher prices. I have often read that dextrose is basically the same as glucose, but also that there are many different types of glucose, which makes it all kind of confusing.
Well 40DE glucose is different to “normal“ glucose so no you wouldn’t get the same result. You would get an approximate freezing point depression effect though with powered dextrose. You could use honey though 👍
What extract brand are you using? I've done mine with zest for a few years, I let it infuse in milk overnight and then squeeze and strain, but it's hard to get consistent results since the lemons can vary in ...zestiness I guess?
@PolarIceCreamery what's your tought on LorAnn super strength extract? Use same amounts 0.5 tsp or do I need to use 1/4 so essentially 0.5ml since LorAnn are 1oz bottles vs Neilson Macey are 4oz?
There isn’t an equivalent BUT…. It’s easy to make 👍. Take 500ml of single cream and add 400ml of semi skimmed milk. You will then have 900ml of Half n Half ! ✌️
Superb insight and introduction, this was so fascinating. Big fan of your work, especially as I’m a UA-camr myself. My only argument is on the nutritional front, all processed sugars are bad but not all fats. You can survive without sugars but not fats. Based on that, could you make a healthier version of gelato using date molases? Or even honey or maple syrup? Interesting on the alcohol point & freezing point. Really can’t wait to open my bad boy and try these recipes out! Keep up the great work.HHH
Well let’s be fair here, saturated fat is specifically bad for you… Ice cream is predominantly high in saturated fat compared to other food so…. In this case, the fat is not wonderful for you. Fats in general are not bad for you but this is an ice cream channel. Date, Honey and Maple sugars are all very different things to use in ice cream due to specific POD and PAC effects, plus they all impart strong flavours. Maple syrup works in maple ice cream due to the taste. Same goes for honey and to a lesser degree, Date.
@@PolarIceCreamery I know conventional ice cream & gelato is bad for you but just interested in alternative plant based ingredients. Also interested in POD & PAC measures. So much conflicting info of saturated fats, especially around coconut fats and oil but would like to experiment. James 🙃
Did you know the gelato setting is IDENTICAL to the ice cream setting! Neither setting does anything to actually make real gelato ice cream as the machine gives zero overrun.
Almost all extracts are alcohol based. Look at the ingredients, it will say ethanol 👍 if it says Glycerin, it’s non alcohol based. I’m doing a video about using glycerin based extract in a few weeks.
U look pretty miz using the Ninja, I totally love mine. Are the buttons placed differently where you are as u seemed to press the ice cream button not the gelato, i do find it makes a difference on mine.
Unofficially the ice cream and gelato setting in the Ninja Creami are………. Identical! It’s the same spin speed, same down time, up time and the same rpm. It’s all a gimmick unfortunately!
@@PolarIceCreamery Please do! Also please do more Ninja Creamy recipes. I am so tired of protein ice cream recipes. I'd also love to see a ricotta based vanilla ice cream recipe in the creami. I have to admit that cottage cheese + milk/cream works way better than I expected for an ice cream base, but it is too tart.
@@PolarIceCreameryI agree with the guy above, please do a video on that and keep making videos like this using the Creami. I bought one to make weekly treats for my elderly parents, so all of your efforts in this direction are greatly appreciated.
Please please can we get a sorbet recipe. All the ninja recipes are so icy. Also in the UK can I replace 550g of half&half with 94g double cream (50% fat) and 456g of skim milk (2% fat). Also how about 2g of vodka if I am not using an alcohol base flavouring. Thanks for a great channel.
About the flavor makes sense as alcohol doesn't freeze I have tried many recipes that I made up as I have invented so many types of ice cream plus sorbet I have made a few yummy ones with only fruit puree without adding any thing else just a Wow factor Johanne Louise.
So great to have someone wit ha science/ice cream background doing ninja cream recipes. Its a great machine for home use but my god some of the idiocy on youtube lol
I have tried cream cheese, instant pudding cottage cheese, espresso,soda stream flavor, condensed milk, I make a mini tiny Choc with mint leaves heated in my liquid with a hint mint flavor with real mint it's so refreshing and amazing my main milk in carnations evaporated milk of 2% fat as I can't use any other kind of milk for my health reason.. if you want to know my recipes and try them send me a reply as I'm a retired Chef with my own invention as what is in there creami recipe book has eggs I can't have any recipe that has this ..Chef Johanne Louise 🧑🍳
It’s always sweetened, it’s just in some parts of the world it’s called “sweetened condensed milk” and in other parts it’s just called “condensed milk”. We need those sugars to make this recipe, without them, it would be a solid block of ice.
@@PolarIceCreamery Not entirely true. Here in Europe we have condensed milk, which has a sweetener added (usually sugar), and we have evaporated milk, which is condensed (cooked down) but doesn't have added sweeteners. People here do tend to confuse the two, since the evaporated milk is still a bit sweet, but not as overly syrupy sweet as the condensed milk version. Thank you for you recipe, it looks delicious!
I’m confused, you think my ninja creami recipes are only for that machine?? Making it in your Musso, it’ll be better than the creami!! It’s just another recipe.
Ninja Creami is great, but indeed loud. I hide behind two doors to avoid the noise and experiment with stabilisers to avoid the requirement to spin all the time.
@@billie381 You could run a Gram to oz - Calculator. But let me do that for you for this time: 550g are 19,4007 oz 350g are 12,3459 oz Just google "550g to oz" or "350g to oz"
Because he gets the invert sugar right, the mass is not nearly as solid with these low sugar, no alcohol/no invert sugars recipes that produce a solid block of ice- that’s when that “hump” becomes very dangerous. He talks about ingredients etc starting here @2:30. Also @3:36. Cheers, hope that helps.
I am thinking he was not being rude, it was his opinion FAT is healthier than sugar and perhaps his scientific observation. Read that again. @@PolarIceCreamery
I used half a teaspoon per tub as I used two different extracts, if you make a batch of the same flavor, so two tubs worth, use 1tsp for the whole batch.
@@PolarIceCreamery Thank you! That's what I though but it wasn't 100% clear from the video. It would be helpful in general if you included the recipe in the video description and in particular it would cut down of this kind of confusion.
hi and thanks for your inspiring you tube channel. There is just one thing I would like to draw your attention to, and that is that when you scrape out the can of condensed milk with a metal object, you scrape the inside of the can which is coated with Bisphenol A, which is a very hormone-disrupting substance. I will not refer to sources as I thought you should use your own to ensure the sincerity of my info to you. Use a rubber or soft plastic spatula and it shouldn't be a problem. Kind regards Peter White (Big ice cream lover)
While that was certainly very true 10 or 20 years ago, the vast majority of canned foods in 2024 no longer use Bisphenol A as a component of the can lining.
I use lemon zest taken in large strips with a vegetable peeler, covered with the sugar to draw out the oil, and add Lemoncello for the alcohol and extra flavor. Family raved about it for both taste and texture, and it keeps in the freezer for at least two months when churned with a standard machine.
That’s a great way to get extra flavor too! I love lemon ice cream.
What is the equivalent of half a nd half in the UK please
coudl you please eloborate? sounds very good!

Can you please explain what half & half is in terms of fat percentage (here we only have slagroom (cream) skimed, semi skimed or full fat milk). Which combo should i use?
Half and Half is 10% fat. So make a blend of cream and milk so you get to that fat % overall.

Fats in general are not bad for you but this is an ice cream channel. Date, Honey and Maple sugars are all very different things to use in ice cream due to specific POD and PAC effects, plus they all impart strong flavours. Maple syrup works in maple ice cream due to the taste. Same goes for honey and to a lesser degree, Date.
@@PolarIceCreamery I know conventional ice cream & gelato is bad for you but just interested in alternative plant based ingredients. Also interested in POD & PAC measures. So much conflicting info of saturated fats, especially around coconut fats and oil but would like to experiment. James 🙃
Still confused if this is ice cream or gelato. I understand the base proportions, but which setting did he use?
Did you know the gelato setting is IDENTICAL to the ice cream setting! Neither setting does anything to actually make real gelato ice cream as the machine gives zero overrun.
What ratio of limoncello ?😊
You'd have to adjust the recipe to get the same flavour.
@@PolarIceCreamery
Cool, thanks…I’ll give it a try.
Where do you find alcohol based extracts? Brand name? Can’t seem to find on Amazon. Thank you
Almost all extracts are alcohol based. Look at the ingredients, it will say ethanol 👍 if it says Glycerin, it’s non alcohol based. I’m doing a video about using glycerin based extract in a few weeks.
@@PolarIceCreamery thank you
U look pretty miz using the Ninja, I totally love mine. Are the buttons placed differently where you are as u seemed to press the ice cream button not the gelato, i do find it makes a difference on mine.
Unofficially the ice cream and gelato setting in the Ninja Creami are………. Identical! It’s the same spin speed, same down time, up time and the same rpm. It’s all a gimmick unfortunately!
@@PolarIceCreamery lol! Of course, it is 🙄
@@darranknight_dzn I know right 😂 I might actually do a video explaining what the settings actually do and then people can see.
@@PolarIceCreamery Please do! Also please do more Ninja Creamy recipes. I am so tired of protein ice cream recipes. I'd also love to see a ricotta based vanilla ice cream recipe in the creami. I have to admit that cottage cheese + milk/cream works way better than I expected for an ice cream base, but it is too tart.
@@PolarIceCreameryI agree with the guy above, please do a video on that and keep making videos like this using the Creami. I bought one to make weekly treats for my elderly parents, so all of your efforts in this direction are greatly appreciated.
Please please can we get a sorbet recipe. All the ninja recipes are so icy.
Also in the UK can I replace 550g of half&half with 94g double cream (50% fat) and 456g of skim milk (2% fat). Also how about 2g of vodka if I am not using an alcohol base flavouring. Thanks for a great channel.
Yeah no problem 👍 yeah that should work regarding the cream. Also yes adding just 2g of vodka will do the same as alcohol extract.
About the flavor makes sense as alcohol doesn't freeze I have tried many recipes that I made up as I have invented so many types of ice cream plus sorbet I have made a few yummy ones with only fruit puree without adding any thing else just a Wow factor
Johanne Louise.
So great to have someone wit ha science/ice cream background doing ninja cream recipes. Its a great machine for home use but my god some of the idiocy on youtube lol
😂 I know right! Most if the stuff I see online makes me cringe as a functioning adult 😂
I have tried cream cheese, instant pudding cottage cheese, espresso,soda stream flavor, condensed milk, I make a mini tiny Choc with mint leaves heated in my liquid with a hint mint flavor with real mint it's so refreshing and amazing my main milk in carnations evaporated milk of 2% fat as I can't use any other kind of milk for my health reason.. if you want to know my recipes and try them send me a reply as I'm a retired Chef with my own invention as what is in there creami recipe book has eggs I can't have any recipe that has this ..Chef Johanne Louise 🧑🍳
This looks good. Quick question...you said condensed milk, so I'm assuming it's sweetened. 😳🤗
It’s always sweetened, it’s just in some parts of the world it’s called “sweetened condensed milk” and in other parts it’s just called “condensed milk”. We need those sugars to make this recipe, without them, it would be a solid block of ice.
@@PolarIceCreamery Not entirely true. Here in Europe we have condensed milk, which has a sweetener added (usually sugar), and we have evaporated milk, which is condensed (cooked down) but doesn't have added sweeteners. People here do tend to confuse the two, since the evaporated milk is still a bit sweet, but not as overly syrupy sweet as the condensed milk version.
Thank you for you recipe, it looks delicious!
@@CilfaNieraad but we are talking about condensed milk, not evaporated milk. Two different products.
Need the Musso recipe. Haven't really paid much attention since you stopped using the Musso machine since that's what we use.
I’m confused, you think my ninja creami recipes are only for that machine?? Making it in your Musso, it’ll be better than the creami!! It’s just another recipe.
Thank you for the alcohol extract is the key! 😇
Can someone explain over run?
Overrun is the amount of air churned in to ice cream as it freezes.
Can you please make a video explaining the calculations for fat content and solids content 🙏
No problem.
@@PolarIceCreamery thank you. Looking forward to it.
Please do yogurt ice creams
Um...what is that invert sugar in the brown container? I listened 5 times and can't make it out.
Golden syrup.
@PolarIceCreamery never heard of that. Can one use honey? Or agave?
@@susanbrackett6408I’d use honey out of the two.
Ninja Creami is great, but indeed loud. I hide behind two doors to avoid the noise and experiment with stabilisers to avoid the requirement to spin all the time.

It's
550g half and half
350g condensed milk
Alcohol based Flavor extract
How much is 550 grams and 350 grams in ozs?
@@billie381 You could run a Gram to oz - Calculator. But let me do that for you for this time:
550g are 19,4007 oz
350g are 12,3459 oz
Just google "550g to oz" or "350g to oz"
Did your ice cream have the "hump"? If so did you flatten it off camera or not bother?
I never bother.
Because he gets the invert sugar right, the mass is not nearly as solid with these low sugar, no alcohol/no invert sugars recipes that produce a solid block of ice- that’s when that “hump” becomes very dangerous. He talks about ingredients etc starting here @2:30. Also @3:36.
Cheers, hope that helps.
Fat is infinitely better for you than sugar
Well yes that is definitely true.
Amen and Hallelujah. I agree
Most definitely!
@@ldzman218 don’t be rude, if you’re gonna be rude then jog on to a different channel 😡
I am thinking he was not being rude, it was his opinion FAT is healthier than sugar and perhaps his scientific observation. Read that again. @@PolarIceCreamery
TINY WHISK!❤
😂😂
Super sin🎉
In the video you say 30 grams of invert sugar. Put you put just a dash in. Is that realy 30 grams of invert sugar?
Yeah mine is just super thin so comes out ultra fast.
One part of your recipe is unclear to me. Is it a half teaspoon of extract for half of a recipe or half a teaspoon for the full recipe?
I used half a teaspoon per tub as I used two different extracts, if you make a batch of the same flavor, so two tubs worth, use 1tsp for the whole batch.
@@PolarIceCreamery Thank you! That's what I though but it wasn't 100% clear from the video. It would be helpful in general if you included the recipe in the video description and in particular it would cut down of this kind of confusion.
More videos without extracts ;)
I don’t normally use them tbh 👍
hi and thanks for your inspiring you tube channel. There is just one thing I would like to draw your attention to, and that is that when you scrape out the can of condensed milk with a metal object, you scrape the inside of the can which is coated with Bisphenol A, which is a very hormone-disrupting substance. I will not refer to sources as I thought you should use your own to ensure the sincerity of my info to you. Use a rubber or soft plastic spatula and it shouldn't be a problem.
Kind regards
Peter White
(Big ice cream lover)
While that was certainly very true 10 or 20 years ago, the vast majority of canned foods in 2024 no longer use Bisphenol A as a component of the can lining.
What the heck is half and half
You’ve got the internet right?
That was never 30g sirup 🙃
your subtitles cover your workspace so it is hard to see what you are doing\
Blame UA-cam, I don’t make the subtitles.
Sugar is worse than fat
Yes it is. Tastes better though!
Constructive criticism: too much extracurricular activity and packaged goods demonstration
Taken onboard 👍
Man you talk to much!
Don’t want to learn anything? I suggest TikTok 🙄
@@PolarIceCreamery I’m not talking about the useful info, that’s 5’!
Anyway that’s ur content I apologize for this
Et même pour les enfants,tu mets de l’alcool dans tes glaces 🤨t’as appris ou à faire de la crème glacée toi 😂😂👎🏻🇫🇷
Grow up 🙄 child!
