When fall rolls around, I tend to start making all the pumpkin and apple spice goodies.

My kids, on the other hand, start begging for candy corn! It’s one of their favorite seasonal treats, and one that makes a regular appearance in our home every fall.

So this year, I decided to surprise them by making Ninja Creami candy corn ice cream!

I have to say, the flavor of the ice cream is spot on, and the orange color makes it a fun and festive treat.

Of course, I recommend a sprinkling of candy corn as a garnish over each serving of ice cream, just for a little extra fall flair.

You’ll love how easy it is to make this recipe, with only three ingredients required. It’s on our list of the best Ninja Creami recipes for fall, and once you try it, I’m sure you’ll see why!

Making Ice Cream with Candy Corn

Because I wanted this ice cream to actually taste like candy corn, I decided to make the ice cream with actual candy corn!

Not only did this provide the flavor and the sweetness needed for the ice cream, but it also gave it a pretty orange color that’s perfect for this time of year.

I simply melted the candy corn with some heavy cream, then added milk to the mixture. Easy peasy!

The texture of this ice cream is a little bit softer than some ice creams, due to the sugar in the candy, but I liked it that way!

How to Make Ninja Creami Candy Corn Ice Cream

It’s really easy to whip up this fall-inspired treat.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Heavy Cream
Candy Corn
Milk

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe card is available below)

Melt the candy. First, you’ll combine the candy corn and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Heat it up over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the candy corns have all melted.

You want the mixture to be nice and smooth! Remove it from the heat and let it cool a bit.

Add milk. Next, you’ll add milk to the creamy candy mixture, stirring to incorporate.

Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, close the lid, and transfer to the freezer for at least 24 hours.

Spin. Last, you’ll remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl. Close the outer bowl lid, then lock the outer bowl into place in the machine.

Press the Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.

If needed, you can perform a Re-spin cycle (if the ice cream isn’t smooth and creamy after the first spin).

Garnish with some additional candy corn pieces and enjoy!
