When Alex and I were contemplating what flavor we wanted to try next in our Ninja Creami, we thought back to some of our favorite flavors. White chocolate peppermint ice cream, of course, was towards the top of the list.
Keeping that in mind, we knew white chocolate was a flavor we wanted to use. And what better to go with white chocolate than raspberry, for a delicious white chocolate raspberry ice cream!
For this flavor, we decided to keep it simple with the ingredients to really let the white chocolate and raspberry flavor shine through.
The best part is, you can use some leftover white chocolate chips from all of the holiday baking and throw them in this ice cream!
The flavor of the white chocolate mixed with raspberries brings a great flavor to this creamy treat.
So grab some raspberries and white chocolate chips, and get spinning with this delicious Ninja Creami ice cream recipe!
To Make Dairy-Free White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream, Use the Following:
- 1 tbsp vegan cream cheese for 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 cup oat milk for 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup cream of coconut for 3/4 cup heavy cream
First Time Using the Ninja Creami or Looking for Tips?
While the Ninja Creami is a machine with only 7 (or 11) buttons, it can still be intimidating! Here are a few tips and tricks Alex and I have picked up since beginning our ice cream journey with the Ninja Creami!
- Do I need to melt the white chocolate chips on the stove? We tried just microwaving the white chocolate chips to melt them, but we found that they quickly hardened back up and would not mix smoothly into the ice cream mixture. By using a stove top pan, the white chocolate chips are able to melt into the mixture to create consistent flavor throughout the ice cream. So the recommendation is using the stove top to achieve the best white chocolate peppermint ice cream!
- Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh? Yes, you can! Just make sure that the frozen raspberries are softened/defrosted before using them, so they don't ruin the Creami blade. You can either let them sit for a while before putting them in, or microwave them for around 15 seconds.
- If I put the pint back into the freezer, do I need to mix the ice cream up again before enjoying? Surprisingly, no! When using the typical base ingredients (whole milk, heavy cream), re-spinning is probably best to get the ice cream back to its original creamy consistency after freezing. However, we have found when using oat milk and cream of coconut, our first spin leaves the ice cream very creamy (almost like a soft-serve texture). After putting it in the freezer for 24 hours after this original spin, the ice cream is the perfect texture to enjoy without re-spinning! My suggestion is see how the texture is without a re-spin, and re-spin only as necessary!
- What button should I use to spin my ice cream? This all depends on the consistency you’re going for! Each button operates the machine at varying speeds. For thicker concoctions (like ice cream), the ice cream button is best. However, if using eggs in the recipe (like a gelato), use the gelato button! The sorbet button is best used with fruit mixtures. For example, if mixing a can of pineapples in heavy syrup, use the sorbet button to make a delicious fruity creation! Overall, it’s something you can experiment with to find your personal preference for your ice cream consistency!

This white chocolate raspberry ice cream combines the creaminess of white chocolate with the tang of raspberry for a delicious treat you can enjoy year-round.
To make this recipe in the Ninja Creami Deluxe, multiply all ingredients by 1.5
Note: 1 serving = 1 pint
- 1 tbsp Cream Cheese
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Raspberry Extract
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 8 Raspberries (Can use more or less depending on how you want to flavor the ice cream)
Place 1 tbsp cream cheese in a medium bowl and microwave for 5-10 seconds. If the cream cheese was in the fridge, these 5-10 seconds in the microwave will help soften it up to mix well with the other ingredients.
In a small-medium sauce pan, combine cream cheese with 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp raspberry extract, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Whisk until the ingredients are mixed together.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup whole milk and 3/4 cup heavy cream.
In a small bowl, mash 8 raspberries, ensuring they are fully crushed (unless you like chunky ice cream). Combine the crushed raspberries into the mixture in the sauce pot.
Warm the small-medium sauce pot on low heat. Add in 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and cook until melted, stirring occasionally. On our stove it took about 20 minutes, but our stove is also 30 years old, so expect it to take around 15 minutes and keep an eye on it!
Once the white chocolate chips are fully melted and combined throughout the mixture, let the mixture cool so it can be poured into the pint container. If you let the mixture cool too long and some of the white chocolate begins to separate, just whisk it quickly before pouring it into the Creami pint.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it does not go over the max fill line.
Freeze the pint for 24 hours, making sure it is placed on a flat surface in the freezer.
After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer, and plug in your Ninja Creami machine! Time for the magic.
Remove the lid from the pint and grab the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Place the pint securely into the outer bowl and cover with the lid. Once the lid is on, place the outer bowl into the machine, twisting to the right until it locks into place. Press the "Ice Cream" button and (try to) wait patiently for the creamy treat coming your way.
Once the process is finished, press and hold the button on the left side of the Creami to twist the bowl to the left and remove it from the machine. Twist the lid off of the outer bowl and remove the pint.
Now your white chocolate raspberry ice cream is ready to enjoy!
