Ninja Creami Frozen Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe
This Ninja Creami Frozen Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe is rich, creamy and full of chocolate flavor. It tastes like your favorite hot chocolate but in frozen form.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Mini marshmallows optional topping
Instructions
Mix the Base
- Take a mixing bowl and add milk, cream, cocoa powder and sugar. Whisk well until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps of cocoa powder left.
Add Flavor
- Add vanilla extract and salt into the mixture. Stir again to combine everything evenly. This step enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness nicely.
Add Chocolate Chips
- Mix in chocolate chips for extra richness. These will give small chocolate bites inside the ice cream. Stir gently so they spread evenly.
Pour into Container
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Do not overfill. Leave a little space at the top to allow expansion during freezing.
Freeze Overnight
- Place the container in the freezer for at least 10 to 12 hours. The mixture should be fully frozen before using the Ninja Creami machine.
Process in Ninja Creami
- Remove the frozen base and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the ice cream setting and let it process until smooth and creamy.
Re-spin if Needed
- If the texture looks crumbly, use the re-spin function once or twice. This will make the ice cream smoother and creamier.
Add Toppings and Serve
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Add mini marshmallows or extra chocolate chips on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your frozen treat.
Notes
- Use good quality cocoa powder for rich flavor
- Freeze completely before processing
- Re-spin for smoother texture
- Add crushed cookies for extra crunch
- Adjust sugar based on taste
- Use full-fat milk for creamy results
