Easy Rocky Road Ninja Creami Delight! 🍫
A quick and simple way to enjoy delicious rocky road ice cream using your Ninja Creami, perfect for a refreshing treat!
Equipment
- Ninja Creami
- Ninja Creami Pint Container
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1.5 cups milk whole or 2% for best results
- 3 tbsp instant sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a small bowl or a liquid measuring cup, combine your milk and the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix. Whisk vigorously or use an immersion blender until the pudding mix is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Enhance the Flavor: Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until it's well incorporated, creating a rich and creamy liquid base.
- Freeze It Solid: Carefully pour this delicious mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure not to fill it past the maximum fill line. Secure the lid and place the pint flat in your freezer for at least 24 hours, allowing it to freeze completely solid.
- First Spin Cycle: Once the pint is frozen solid, remove it from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint into the Ninja Creami's outer bowl, then securely lock the outer bowl lid. Insert the entire assembly into your Ninja Creami machine, twisting it firmly into place. Select the "Lite Ice Cream" button and let the machine do its magic!
- Check and Re-spin for Creaminess: After the initial cycle, take the outer bowl out and check the ice cream's texture. If it looks a bit crumbly, put it back into the machine and press the "Re-spin" button for another cycle. If it's still not perfectly creamy, add just one tablespoon of milk and re-spin one more time until it reaches your desired smooth consistency.
- Add Your Mix-ins: Using a knife or the handle of a spoon, carefully create a narrow well (about ½ inch wide) in the center of the ice cream, making sure it extends all the way to the bottom of the pint. Now, add about half of your chopped almonds and half of your mini marshmallows into this well.
- Final Mix-in Blend: Place the pint container and outer bowl back into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the "Mix-in" button, and let it incorporate all those delightful nuts and marshmallows throughout your creamy ice cream.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the machine, scoop out your freshly made Rocky Road ice cream, and serve! Don't forget to sprinkle the remaining almonds and marshmallows on top for an extra crunch and chew.
