This Ninja Creami Halo-Halo Ice Cream is a delightful fusion of classic Filipino flavors in a creamy, refreshing treat. It's quick and easy to prepare, making it the perfect dessert for hot summer days or when you're craving something exotic and delicious.

Halo-Halo (translated to English as Mix-Mix) is a beloved Filipino dessert, known for its colorful mix of sweet ingredients and crushed ice. It’s a refreshing way to beat the tropical heat and enjoy a variety of flavors in one bite.

This recipe gives Halo-Halo a modern twist by transforming it into a creamy ice cream using the Ninja Creami. It’s the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, creating a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need:

Base

Classic Vanilla Ice Cream Base: Made with cream, condensed milk, and vanilla paste or extract;  You can also use coconut ice cream if you want it dairy free.

Toppings

• Ube Halaya: A sweet purple yam jam; can be found in Asian grocery stores or made from scratch.
• Minatamis na Langka (Sweetened Jackfruit): Adds a tropical sweetness; can substitute with fresh jackfruit or canned.
• Minatamis na Saba (Sweetened Banana): These caramelized bananas add a rich, sweet flavor; use plantains as an alternative.
• Coconut Shreds: Store-bought or homemade, they add a chewy texture and a hint of coconut flavor.
• Sweetened Red Beans: Store-bought in a jar, these beans add a unique sweetness and creamy texture.
• Coconut Jelly: A chewy and sweet addition; look for it in the dessert aisle of Asian grocery stores.

How to Make Halo-Halo Ice Cream Using Ninja Creami

1. Prepare the Vanilla Ice Cream Base: If making from scratch, combine heavy cream, half and half, condensed milk, cottage cheese, vanilla extract in a blender until well combined. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container.

2. Freeze the Base: Place the pint container in the freezer for at least 24 hours or until fully frozen.

3. Process in Ninja Creami: Once frozen, insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the "Ice Cream" setting. Allow the machine to process until smooth and creamy.

4. Add the Toppings: Once the ice cream is ready, mix in the ube halaya, minatamis na langka, minatamis na saba, coconut shreds, sweetened red beans, and coconut jelly. Manually mix to combine the toppings evenly throughout the ice cream. (I do not suggest using the mix-in function as it will pulverize these toppings).  

Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the Halo-Halo ice cream into bowls or glasses and enjoy immediately. Top with extra toppings if desired.

Topping and Mix-In Suggestions

• Leche Flan: Add cubes of creamy Filipino flan for an extra indulgent touch.
• Crispy Rice: Sprinkle crispy rice or pinipig for a crunchy contrast to the creamy ice cream.
• Condensed Milk: Drizzle over the top for added sweetness and richness.
• Mango Slices: Fresh or frozen mango slices add a fruity burst of flavor.
• Taro Chips: Add a crunchy element with thinly sliced and fried taro chips.

Equipment

I used a blender and Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker for the vanilla ice cream used as a base.
