Ah, mulled wine ice cream, what an amazing idea to extend the festive spirit while staying cool! I'm going to show you how to create this little marvel with your Ninja Creami. Imagine a delicious mulled wine transformed into a fragrant ice cream, full of spices… It's like Christmas and summer decided to celebrate together. 😍

What you need:

  • 200 ml of red wine (choose a wine that is not too expensive, but of good quality)
  • 50g of sugar (adjust to your taste)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 star anise (star anise)
  • The zest of an organic orange (just the orange part, not the bitter white pith)
  • 100 ml of water
  • 70 ml of full liquid cream

Preparation :

  1. Prepare your mulled wine : In a small saucepan, pour the red wine and add the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and orange zest. Heat gently without bringing to a boil, for about 10-15 minutes. It should fill the whole kitchen with those wonderful spicy aromas! 😋
  2. Strain and let cool : Once your mulled wine has infused, strain it to remove the spices and zest. Let it cool completely. Patience is key for your ice cream to set properly!
  3. Add the cream : When your mixture is cold, add the liquid cream to give your ice cream a smooth texture.
  4. Freezing : Pour this mixture into the Ninja Creami container. Place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours. It's a long time, I know, but it's so worth it! 💫
  5. Magical transformation : The next day, place your tub in the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" mode. If the texture is a little too firm, feel free to restart the cycle or add a small spoonful of cream to adjust.
  6. Enjoy ! There you have it, your mulled wine ice cream is ready to be savored! It's both refreshing and comforting, perfect for impressing your guests or simply treating yourself. Add a few pieces of candied orange or a pinch of cinnamon on top for a wow .

So, ready to embark on this delicious and frosty experience? I guarantee you'll never look at mulled wine the same way again! 🥂
