What to Do If It’s Too Powdery or Too Icy
If your ice cream is too powdery or icy, it could be because of the timing and the speed of the blade. I normally use the “Ice Cream”, “Lite Ice Cream”, and “Sorbet” functions.
Run the “Ice Cream” function if you want a dense ice cream rather than a lighter soft serve style consistency. This setting runs for only 60 seconds and has a lower blade speed, thus allowing for a denser end product since less air has been whipped into it. Once it’s finished running, you can assess and see if it’s the consistency you desire. I recommend only running it once especially if you are adding mix-ins. You’ll want to be careful how many times you run it through because your Ninja Creami blueberry cheesecake ice cream will start to melt.
