6. 6

   Once frozen, process the pint in the Ninja Creami machine using the 'Ice Cream' or 'Lite Ice Cream' setting.

7. 7

   Create a hole in the center of the processed ice cream and add your crushed Oreo cookies or other mix-ins.

8. 8

   Place the pint back into the machine and use the 'Extras' or 'Mix-In' button to incorporate the cookies.

Notes

The author suggests freezing for a full 24 hours to ensure the texture is firm enough before processing. If the ice cream is too soft after the first spin, you can briefly return it to the freezer. Variations mentioned include using strawberries as a mix-in.
