Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate milk (preferably whole or 2%)
- Optional: Mix-ins such as chopped cookies, chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Pour chocolate milk into the Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid and place it on a flat surface in your freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Process the Ice Cream: Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl, secure it in the machine, and press the “Lite Ice Cream” button. Let the cycle run (~2 minutes).
- Adjust Texture (if needed): If the ice cream looks crumbly after processing, add 1 tablespoon of chocolate milk to the center of the pint. Return it to the Ninja Creami and press “Re-spin” until smooth.
- Add Mix-Ins (Optional): To incorporate mix-ins, create a small well in the center of the pint, add your desired ingredients, and use the “Mix-In” function on your Ninja Creami.
- Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately for the best texture!
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a drizzle of hot fudge for extra indulgence.
- Pair with warm brownies or cookies for a decadent dessert combo.
Tips & Tricks
- Whole chocolate milk yields the creamiest results; for a lighter option, use Fairlife 2% chocolate milk.
- If using mix-ins, freeze them beforehand to maintain consistency during processing.
Storage & Reheating
- Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in your freezer for up to one month.
- To serve again, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes or re-spin in your Ninja Creami to restore creaminess.
