In your pint container combine cut strawberries with sugar. Let them sit for five minutes until the sugar liquifies.
Next, add milk, yogurt, pudding mix and vanilla extract. Stir to combine, cover the pint and freeze for 24 hours.
Use your Ninja Creami machine on “Ice Cream” setting.
Remove the pint and take a look at your ice cream. If you think the texture is a bit chalky (or not as creamy as you want) make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then, use the “re-spin” setting.
Top with strawberry shortcake crunch or fresh strawberries.

Add Protein Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, such as whey powder, to any mixture for high-protein ice cream.
When to Serve It’s best to spin Creami ice creams right before eating. If you freeze them again for more than a few hours you may find the ice cream is hard again. If the ice cream is frozen hard set it out for 15 to 20 minutes until it is soft enough to eat.
Label If you make multiple flavors at once, be sure to label each flavor.
Extra Creamy Replace half the milk with heavy whipping cream or heavy cream for an extra creamy finish.
Red Food Coloring It is not necessary to use any food dye for this recipe, but you can add a drop of red food coloring if you want a brighter pink color.
Topping Ideas Make a homemade strawberry puree or add some diced shortcake pieces with fresh strawberries.
