Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker-NC300
Directions
- Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and corn syrup until the mixture is fully combined and the sugar is dissolved. Do not do this over heat.
- Whisk in the milk, heavy cream, almond extract, and food coloring.
Place the pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring' constantly with a rubber spatula, until the temperature reaches 74°C to 80°C on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour the base through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean CREAMi Pint. Carefully place the container in the prepared ice water bath, making sure the water doesn't spill into the base.
- Once the base has cooled, place the storage lid on the pint and freeze for 24 hours.
- Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint in the outer bowl of your Ninja CREAMi, install the Creamerizer Paddle in the outer bowl lid, and lock the lid assembly onto the outer bowl. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, and twist the handle to the right to raise the platform and lock it in place. Select the Gelato function.
- Once the machine has finished processing, remove the lid from the pint container. With a spoon, create a 11/2-inch-wide hole that reaches the bottom of the pint. During this process, it is okay if your treat reaches above the Max Fill line. Add the pistachios to the hole in the pint, replace the lid, and select the Mix-In function.
- Once the machine has finished processing, remove the gelato from the pint. Serve immediately.
