Ingredients

  • 2 ounces chocolate
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Place the milk in a blender, and then add the chocolate, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Process until smooth. Pour into a Ninja creami container and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Remove the container from the freezer and remove the lid. Add to the outer bowl of the creami, and then place on the creami base with the lid.
  • Press the ice cream button, and process. Respin.

Optional

  • For extra creamy ice cream, drizzle 1 ½ tablespoons of milk on top and repsin. Note that this will make it very soft right after churning and if you want a more solid consistency if you choose to do this you will need to let the pint return to the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up.

Notes

Storage tips

Ninja Creami ice cream is its best self the moment it spins. Day-two texture is still good, but the base will firm up dramatically in the freezer overnight. That said, I've enjoyed this 5 days later with no-respin.
If it's been in the freezer more than a week, give it the splash-of-milk treatment on the re-spin. The base loses a little moisture over time and the milk brings it back.
