Prepare the base
Add the walnut paste, maple syrup, vanilla extract, whole milk, heavy cream and fine salt to a blender.
Blend until the base is completely smooth and fully emulsified.
Freeze and spin
Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.
Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.
Once fully frozen, run the ICE CREAM program.
If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.
Still not right after re-spinning? See how to fix the texture.
Serve
Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.
Storing leftovers
Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.
Tips
- Stir the walnut paste thoroughly before measuring if its natural oil has separated.
- Use 100% roasted walnut paste, not a sweetened walnut spread.
- Choose pure maple syrup with a pronounced flavor, as its maple notes become softer after freezing.
