If you're looking for an ultra-creamy ice cream with a wonderful fruity freshness, strawberry mascarpone ice cream is exactly what you need. The mascarpone provides that incomparable smoothness, while the strawberries, both in the base and as pieces, enhance everything with their naturally sweet flavor. With the Ninja Creami, you'll get perfectly smooth ice cream and just the right amount of crunchy strawberry pieces thanks to the Extra .
Ingredients :
- 200g of mascarpone
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 100g of fresh strawberries (cut into pieces)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, but it adds a nice little touch)
- 100g extra strawberries for the topping (cut them into small pieces)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepare the strawberry mascarpone base.
Start by blending 100g of strawberries with the mascarpone, whole milk, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and homogeneous. The mascarpone makes the ice cream so creamy that you might want to taste it before you even freeze it! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
. Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container. Be careful not to exceed the MAX FILL (yes, it's important!). Then place the container in the freezer for 24 hours . This is always the longest part, but it's so worth it! - Churn using the Ice Cream program.
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you'll have a wonderfully smooth strawberry mascarpone ice cream with a super fresh strawberry flavor. - Add the strawberry pieces using the Extra mode.
Once the ice cream is ready, this is when you'll add the extra chopped strawberry pieces. Use the "Mix-In" to gently incorporate the strawberry pieces without crushing them. The result: pieces of strawberry in every bite, contrasting beautifully with the ultra-creamy texture of the ice cream. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is a little too firm after the first cycle, use the "Respin" to make it even softer and creamier. Add a little milk if needed to soften it further.
My Personal Tip:
If you really want to take this ice cream to the next level, I suggest adding a homemade strawberry coulis on top, or even some white chocolate shavings for a delicious contrast. A little lemon zest can also add a touch of freshness that makes all the difference!
ice cream with strawberry pieces is pure bliss. You get an ultra-creamy dessert thanks to the mascarpone, a burst of freshness from the strawberries, and a perfect texture from the Ninja Creami. Trust me, after this, you'll never look at ice cream the same way again!
