Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- Two 1.38 oz packets of hot chocolate mix (about 6 tablespoons)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
Heat whole milk in a microwave-safe container until hot but not boiling (about 50 seconds). Whisk in the hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved. Stir in heavy whipping cream until smooth. - Freeze:
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Let it cool to room temperature, seal with the lid, and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours. - Process:
Remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Use the “Ice Cream” setting to process. If crumbly, re-spin or add 1 tablespoon of milk and re-spin again for a smoother texture. - Optional Mix-ins:
For extra flavor, create a well in the ice cream and add mini marshmallows or chocolate chips. Use the “Mix-In” setting to incorporate.
