Does the Ninja Creami really need 24 hours?

The instructions say to freeze your base for 24 hours before blending because it insures that it is frozen completely solid. The exact freeze time will vary based on your freezer - your base likely can be frozen completely solid in less time. The Ninja Creami will not work properly if it isn't completely frozen.

Can you refreeze ice cream from the Ninja Creami?

Yes you can refreeze leftover Ninja Creami ice cream if you don't finish the whole pint. After freezing again you can either re-spin for the best texture or let it thaw slightly at room temperature (or zapping in the microwave for a few seconds) to soften and enjoy.

How many times do you respin in a Ninja Creami?

I find that most recipes only need two spins to get that smooth and creamy texture. It can help to add a tablespoon or two of liquid in between the first and second spin.

Ingredients

2 cups diced fresh mango, see note

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Press Mango in Pint Container - Add the diced mango to the pint container and use something heavy to press it down, expelling some of the juice. I like to use a metal ladle or metal measuring cup. Smashing the mango helps compact it into a homogenous mixture.
Add Coconut Milk - Add the coconut milk. There should be no mango pieces sticking out, it should be flat on top.
Freeze - Place the pint in the freezer and freeze for 24 hours so it is fully solid. Make sure you place it on a level surface in your freezer. I prefer to freeze with lid off as I find it helps prevent the 'hump' in the middle. After freezing, if there are any mango pieces sticking out of the top, preventing it from being flat on top, you can use the back of a metal spoon to shave it off.
First Spin - Insert into the outer bowl, add the lid, and lock into position. Blend on 'Sorbet'.
Re-Spin - It will likely look crumbly after the first spin. Add a splash of coconut milk (1-2 tablespoons) and press re-spin to spin on 'sorbet' one more time. It should be creamy after the second spin.
Enjoy - At this point you can add mix-ins or eat right away.

Notes

Using Frozen Mango - You can use frozen mango for this recipe, but it needs to be thawed first so you can still smash it down in the pint container.
