Equipment
- Blender
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
- Ninja Creami Pint Container
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream Swap with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- 1¼ cup Half and Half Use whole milk if you're out of half and half.
- ½ cup Cottage Cheese Or use cream cheese or yogurt
- ½ cup Condensed Milk Alternatively, use sugar or sugar substitute. Adjust according to your sweetness preference
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract or Bean Paste
Instructions
- Heat ¼ cup of half and half in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, until warm. Then, whisk in the cocoa powder until it’s fully dissolved and smooth. This helps the cocoa powder blend seamlessly into your ice cream base, ensuring a rich, even chocolate flavor.
- In a blender, heavy cream, half and half, cottage cheese, condensed milk, cocoa powder and vanilla. Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure it does not exceed the max fill line.
- Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 18-24 hours.
- After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the pint holder lid and lock it into place. Select the " Ice Cream" setting and let the Ninja Creami process the mixture. *see notes
- Scoop the chocolate ice cream into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
If your mixture is still crumbly after the first spin, just hit the "Respin" button and keep going until it’s nice and creamy. Adding a tablespoon of cream or milk can help speed things up.
Normally, if you let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes after taking it out of the freezer, it usually won't need any spin.
