material

• Chocolate Milk – You can use any type of chocolate milk. I used Fairlife milk.
• Chocolate pudding mix – You can use regular pudding mix or unsweetened pudding mix.
• Cocoa powder – This is optional, but I like to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for an even deeper chocolate flavor.
• nuts – You will need nuts to mix in. You can use roasted peanuts or any mix of nuts you like. I used peanuts, pecans and almonds. The nuts are roasted and chopped.
• marshmallow – Opt for mini marshmallows, or do as I did here and chop up some larger marshmallows into small pieces. This is a key ingredient in this recipe and makes the texture so interesting and fun.

About Ninja Creami

I’ve tried other ice cream makers. Ninja Creamy Best of all, the best thing about Creami is that you get the perfect texture every time. With Creami, you can easily make super healthy ice cream with fewer ingredients. For example, one of the best ice creams I’ve ever made is just fresh mango frozen in coconut milk.

The basics of usage are as follows: Ninja Creamy Make ice cream in the machine. First, fill the prepared container with your ingredients of choice and freeze for 24 hours. I always keep a few flavors in the freezer ready to go. After freezing, choose from settings like ice cream, sorbet, gelato, mix-ins, etc. I always use the “ice cream” setting first. After the first spin, the ice cream will have a chalky texture. Add more liquid (milk or water) to the center of the container and “re-spin”. After the second spin, it’s ready to eat. At that point, you can also add mix-ins and do a “mix-in” spin to mix it throughout the pint. It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete a pint of ice cream.

Instructions

your Pint ContainerCombine chocolate milk, pudding mix, and cocoa powder. Use a whisk to combine. Cover container and freeze for 24 hours.

Use your Ninja Creami machine on the “Ice Cream” setting.

Remove the pint and check the ice cream. If the texture seems a little chalky (or not as creamy as you’d like), make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then use the “Re-spin” feature. Repeat until the texture is creamy.

Finally, add the mix-ins and spin again on the “mix-ins” setting. Serve the ice cream immediately or garnish with additional toppings and/or a maraschino cherry.

Tips on how to make it

• Add protein – Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a high-protein ice cream.
• When to offer – Creami ice cream is best rotated just before serving. If re-frozen for more than a few hours, the ice cream will harden again, so you may need to use the “re-rotate” function.
• label – If you are making more than one flavor at a time, be sure to label each flavor.
