Ninja Swirl Nutella Soft Serve Recipe
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Ninja Creami machine
- Ninja Creami pint container
- Blender
Key Ingredients for Ninja Swirl Nutella Soft Serve :
- Nutella gives it the distinctive flavor
- Whole milk adds creaminess
- Half and Half – I use this instead of heavy whipping cream because the cream tends to leave a “buttery” texture on the roof of your mouth from the spinning process
Tips and Tricks:
- Ensure your Nutella is at room temperature for smooth blending.
- Freeze the mixture for a full 24 hours – this is crucial for the best Ninja Creami results.
- Consider adding chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips after the first spin for extra texture and flavor.
- Find Nutella in the grocery store aisle with peanut butter or other spreads.
- Get creative with toppings like mini marshmallows or brownie pieces.
- Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
- Use leftover ice cream to make decadent milkshakes or as a topping for warm desserts.

FAQs:
- Can I use something other than half and half?
Yes, you can try using whole milk, but the half and half contributes to a richer texture. - Is cream cheese necessary?
While you can technically make it without, the cream cheese is key to that signature Ninja Creami soft-serve texture and also acts as a stabilizer. - Can I add protein powder?
You can experiment with adding protein powder, but you might need to adjust the liquid ratio to maintain the right consistency. - Where can I buy Nutella?
Nutella is widely available in most grocery stores. - What if my ice cream is crumbly after the first spin?
This is common! Use the “re-spin” function on your Ninja Creami. If it’s still crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin. - Can I use a different chocolate hazelnut spread?
Yes, but for the authentic flavor, Nutella is recommended.
A Little Note on Getting It Right: Just like the Biscoff recipe, you might need to experiment slightly to find your perfect consistency. Don’t be afraid to adjust the cream cheese or add a touch more liquid if needed after the first spin. Let me know in the comments what tweaks worked best for you!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup Nutella
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips

Easy Directions for Ninja Swirl Nutella Soft Serve:
1. Combine the milk, Nutella, and half and half in your blender.

2. Blend for 5-10 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and the Nutella is fully incorporated. If using, add the chopped hazelnuts or chocolate chips and pulse briefly to distribute them.

3. Pour the Nutella mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container.

4. Freeze for a minimum of 24 hours. This ensures the base is frozen solid, which is essential for the Ninja Creami.
5. Once frozen solid, remove the pint container from the freezer. Briefly rinse the outside of the pint under warm water to help release the frozen base.

6. Remove the storage lid from the pint container. Place the pint into the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami, ensuring it’s securely in place.
7. Attach the processing lid to the outer bowl, aligning the arrows as indicated on your machine. Slide the outer bowl onto the base of the Ninja Creami and lock it.
8. Select the Soft Serve function on your Ninja Swirl by Creami. After the processing cycle is complete, remove the pint from the machine.

9. If it’s crumbly, use the “re-spin” function. After the processing cycle is complete, remove pint from the machine.
10. To dispense, replace the processing lid with the dispensing lid.
11. Place the pint back onto the outer bowl. Rotate the white pint base to the ‘OPEN’ position. Gently pull the handle to dispense your Nutella soft serve.
