Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream – Ninja Creami Recipe

When is the right time to add cinnamon to your ice cream? In my opinion, any time! While cinnamon is often associated with fall, cozy winter days, and the holiday season, there is no reason not to enjoy it in a creamy homemade ice cream all year round. So why wait until autumn for this delicious Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream made in the Ninja Creami**?

This recipe is incredibly simple and requires just four ingredients. Even better, you don’t need to cook the ice cream base before freezing it. Simply combine the ingredients, freeze the mixture, and let your Ninja Creami turn it into a smooth and creamy dessert.

Creamy Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream with Just 4 Ingredients

When I first made this recipe, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Could an ice cream made with only four ingredients really turn out creamy and flavorful without cooking the base?

It absolutely can! I was actually surprised by how much we enjoyed it. Usually, there is at least some ice cream left in the container after the first tasting, but this time we ended up eating the entire batch right away.

The ice cream is especially delicious when you use homemade applesauce. If you have an apple tree in your garden and make your own applesauce, this recipe is a great way to use some of it. You can even prepare the ice cream while you’re already processing your apples and save yourself from wasting any leftovers.

Of course, store-bought applesauce works just as well. I recommend using a simple applesauce without additional spices so you can control the cinnamon flavor yourself.

How Much Cinnamon Should You Use?

The amount of cinnamon can easily be adjusted to your personal taste. I prefer a noticeable cinnamon flavor, so this recipe is designed to have a fairly strong cinnamon taste.

If you prefer a more subtle flavor, start with a smaller amount and add more the next time you make it. The same applies to the sugar. Depending on how sweet your applesauce already is, you may want to adjust the amount slightly.

My tip: Taste the mixture before freezing it and adjust the cinnamon and sweetness if necessary. Once the mixture is frozen, you won’t be able to change the flavor.

Making Apple Cinnamon Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami

One of the best things about this recipe is that there is no need to cook the ice cream base. Simply combine the four ingredients and transfer the mixture to a Ninja Creami container.

Freeze the container until the mixture is completely solid, then process it in your Ninja Creami. If the ice cream looks a little dry or crumbly after the first cycle, simply use the Re-Spin function. This helps create an even smoother and creamier texture.

Delicious Mix-In Ideas

Want to add a little extra texture? There are plenty of ingredients that would work well with the apple and cinnamon combination.

Chopped nuts would make a delicious mix-in, while small pieces of apple or crushed cookies could also add some extra texture and flavor.

You can experiment with different mix-ins depending on what you have available and create a slightly different version every time.
