I have been going strong with my Ninja Creami obsession for a good while now. Given that low FODMAP recipes are my everyday content, I can’t believe I haven’t shared this sooner. Allow me to introduce my low FODMAP ice cream recipe, plus plenty of bonus recipes!
Low FODMAP ice cream recipe
This is a hybrid post between a recipe post and a recipe roundup. I wanted to share a low FODMAP Ninja Creami vanilla ice cream, to start. Then, I figured: why not include all of my low FODMAP (or low FODMAP adaptable) Ninja Creami recipes as well?!
So, I am going to share a vanilla ice cream recipe in a Ninja Creami. At the end of the recipe, I’ll group all of my Ninja Creami flavours that happen to be low FODMAP. At some point soon, I will also add a recipe for a low FODMAP no-churn ice cream. Let’s dive straight in.
FODMAP notes
These FODMAP thresholds are current as of August 2025. They will be periodically reviewed to ensure they remain up to date with Monash research.
First, let’s chat lactose free cream and milk. They are both low FODMAP in up to 500g serves per person. Too easy! If you can’t buy them where you live, make your own.
When it comes to the condensed milk, we have options. Firstly, you can make your own lactose free condensed milk. It does take a bit of time but it is worth it.
If you use lactose free milk, lactose free cream and lactose free condensed milk, this is a lactose free and low FODMAP ice cream. You are pretty much only limited by your imagination and your appetite.
If you’d prefer not to make your own condensed milk, you can use a good quality coconut condensed milk. Keep in mind that this should contain coconut milk and sugar only. There are some brands in Australia that use coconut sugar (among other ingredients) which is a high fructan sweetener.
According to Monash, coconut condensed milk is low FODMAP in serves of up to 85g per person. In larger serves, it contains moderate fructans. This recipe uses 150-200g condensed milk, so you can still eat a generous serve. This is provided you don’t serve it with anything fructan containing, of course.
Bonus low FODMAP ice cream recipes
Lactose free coffee Ninja Creami
This heavenly coffee Ninja Creami is easily made low FODMAP by using lactose free dairy products and homemade lactose free condensed milk or coconut condensed milk.
Ninja Creami strawberry ice cream
This fresh and delicious ice cream uses 300g strawberries. As of August 2025, strawberries are low FODMAP in serves of up to 75g, according to Monash. This means that a tub of this strawberry ice cream safely serves 5-6 people while remaining low FODMAP. Be sure to use lactose free cream.
Ninja Creami chocolate ice cream
At the time of writing, Monash’s entries for cocoa powder are not helpful at all. FODMAP everyday list cocoa powder as being low FODMAP in serves of up to 50g, so that’s what I am using here.
This recipe uses 30g cocoa powder, so no stress! However, do use lactose free condensed milk or coconut condensed milk and lactose free dairy in this recipe. If you do that, you have an incredibly delicious low FODMAP chocolate ice cream.
Ninja Creami coconut ice cream
This full on coconut flavoured ice cream is delicious and easy to make. It also happens to be dairy free, vegan and easily low FODMAP. See the notes at the bottom of the recipe and you’re on your way!
Dairy free lemon curd ice cream
I adore this recipe for dairy free lemon curd, so it’s absolute perfection that it turns into ice cream with ease. This recipe is naturally dairy free and so delicious. Lemon juice is low FODMAP in serves of up to 178g as of August 2025, so just don’t eat a whole tub at once (half a tub is fair game though).
Low FODMAP chocolate mint chip ice cream
No ice cream roundup is complete with a good choc mint flavour! This recipe uses sugar instead of condensed milk, so you simply need to use lactose free dairy products. In terms of the chocolate, the recipe uses 30g chocolate total. As of August 2025, dark chocolate is low FODMAP in serves of up to 80g per person. Milk chocolate is low FODMAP in serves of up to 30g per person, but I think dark chocolate is the right choice for this recipe.

Low FODMAP vanilla ice cream (Ninja Creami version)
Equipment
- NC300 Ninja Creami machine with 470ml tubs
Ingredients
- 150 g coconut condensed milk or homemade lactose free condensed milk (see notes below for recipe)
- 200 g thickened lactose free cream, 30-35% fat (you can make your own, see notes below for recipe)
- 100 g full fat milk (you can make your own, see notes below for recipe)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk the ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. I find this helps disperse the sweetened condensed milk without it getting stuck in the grooves of the Ninja Creami tub.
- Pour the smooth mixture into the 470ml Ninja Creami. Place into the freezer with the lid off for 16-24 hours. Leaving the lid off can help minimise the hump in the centre.
- When you are ready to use it, process your ice cream using the ice cream function. If it looks a bit balled up after the first spin, spin it again.
- Serve alone, with low FODMAP mix-ins or with a low FODMAP dessert of your choice. Place the lid on leftovers and process again when you need more vanilla ice cream. The Ninja Creami machine will successfully spin a half tub.
Notes
- See this recipe to make your own lactose free condensed milk.
- See this guide on how to make lactose free milk. It also works for cream, so this is a great option if you can’t buy it where you live.
- Personally, I don’t think you can taste the coconut condensed milk if you choose that option. Make sure you choose a brand with coconut milk and regular sugar, not coconut sugar. That has too strong of a taste and is a high FODMAP ingredient.
