Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with crushed almonds, chocolate drizzle, or toasted coconut flakes for added flavor and texture. Pair with warm brownies or cookies for a decadent dessert combo.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use full-fat coconut milk and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
- Re-spin the ice cream if it’s crumbly after the first process to achieve a fluffier consistency.
- Chop almonds and chocolate into small pieces for even distribution.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. If ice cream hardens, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving or re-process in the Ninja Creami to restore its creamy texture.
