Dairy-free and lite swaps for the Ninja Creami
Most ice cream recipes can be adapted. These swaps work best, and the right program matters as much as the ingredient.
| Instead of | Try | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | Unsweetened oat milk | Use unsweetened versions of every dairy-free swap. |
| Double cream | Unsweetened coconut cream | Whisk the coconut cream on its own, as the first step, until smooth. Then add the other ingredients. |
| Cream cheese | Vegan cream cheese | Used in the small amount of cream cheese that helps SharkNinja's vanilla and chocolate bases stay smooth. |
| Light corn syrup | Agave syrup | Raw agave nectar replaces light corn syrup. |
| Sugar | A sugar substitute | If you use a sugar substitute, process on the lite ice cream program. |
If your dairy-free treat looks crumbly, try re-spin. See our answers on dairy-free ice cream and erythritol.
