If you’ve been following my ice cream adventures, you already know I’m completely obsessed with creating fun new flavours in my Ninja Creami. Every time I think I’ve found my favourite, another delicious combination steals my heart.
This time, I created what I can confidently call the best Snowball Ice Cream ever!
I also created a few other amazing Ninja Creami Recipes here:
High Protein Double Chocolate Ice Cream
High Protein Strawberry Banana Frozen Yogurt
If you’re a fan of those classic snowball desserts loaded with coconut, fluffy marshmallow, soft cake, and rich cream, you’re going to absolutely fall in love with this homemade version. It’s creamy, decadent, loaded with texture, and tastes like pure childhood nostalgia.
Why You’ll Love This Snowball Ice Cream
This recipe starts with my favourite ultra-creamy vanilla ice cream base before transforming into an irresistible dessert packed with chewy brownie pieces, sweet marshmallow fluff, and shredded coconut.
The result is a rich, fluffy, coconut-filled frozen treat that tastes like a snowball dessert in every bite.
Even better?
It’s incredibly easy to make in the Ninja Creami.
My Favourite Vanilla Ice Cream Base
I always start with my tried-and-true vanilla base because it comes out perfectly creamy every single time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- Sugar (sweeten to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla Boost (according to package directions)
Mix everything together until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour into your Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze for at least 24 hours until completely solid.
Time to Make the Snowball Magic
After your ice cream base has frozen:
- Process it using the Ice Cream setting on your Ninja Creami.
- If needed, use the Re-Spin setting once or twice until perfectly creamy.
Now comes the fun part!
Mix-In Ingredients
- Chocolate brownie pieces
- Marshmallow fluff
- Shredded coconut
Create a small hole in the centre of your ice cream, add all of your mix-ins, and run the Mix-In cycle.
The brownies become little fudgy bites throughout the ice cream while the marshmallow fluff creates beautiful creamy ribbons that pair perfectly with the coconut.
A Happy Accident
Originally, I planned on adding a splash of coconut milk to the base for even more tropical flavour.
Then I realized…
I completely forgot to buy some!
Honestly though, I don’t think it needed it.
The shredded coconut adds just the right amount of coconut flavour without overpowering the rich vanilla base. Sometimes happy accidents make the best recipes.
My Favourite Way to Serve It
As amazing as this ice cream already is, I love taking it one step further.
Top each bowl with:
- A generous spoonful of whipped cream
- Extra shredded coconut
- A few brownie crumbles
- A drizzle of marshmallow fluff if you’re feeling extra indulgent
It turns an already incredible dessert into something that feels bakery-worthy.
Why I Love Snowball Desserts
Snowball desserts have always been one of my all-time favourites.
There’s just something magical about the combination of fluffy marshmallow, sweet coconut, soft cake, and creamy goodness. Every bite reminds me of family gatherings and comforting homemade desserts.
This ice cream captures everything I love about those classic treats while adding the rich creaminess that only homemade Ninja Creami ice cream can deliver.
It’s nostalgic, comforting, and impossible to stop eating.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a unique Ninja Creami recipe that everyone will rave about, this Snowball Ice Cream deserves a spot at the top of your must-make list.
It’s rich without being too heavy, perfectly sweet, packed with chewy brownie bites, fluffy marshmallow, and delicious coconut in every spoonful.
I already know I’ll be making this one again—and next time I’ll remember the coconut milk just to see how much more coconut flavour I can squeeze into it!
