Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ½ tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

  1. In a blender (or mixing bowl), combine softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and milk.
  2. Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy with no lumps.

Tip: Sift cocoa powder beforehand for a smoother base.

Step 2: Freeze

  1. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.
  2. Freeze the container for at least 12 hours (longer for best results).

Tip: Ensure the base is completely solid before processing.

Step 3: Process

  1. Attach the frozen pint to your Ninja Creami machine.
  2. Select the “Ice Cream” function and process.
  3. If the texture looks crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function to smooth it out.

Step 4: Serve

Scoop the ice cream into bowls, cones, or on top of brownies. Add your favorite toppings like whipped cream, sprinkles, or chocolate chips for a fun touch!

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with warm cookies, fresh fruit, or waffles for a complete dessert.

Tips & Tricks

  • Using high-quality cocoa powder makes a big difference in flavor—Dutch-processed is ideal.
  • Always leave room in the pint container for expansion during freezing.

Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Cover the ice cream’s surface with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
  • If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
