- 3 tbsp instant sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- ¼ cup chopped almonds (or nuts of choice)
- ¼ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk and pudding mix until smooth and lump-free.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir gently until fully combined.
Pro Tip: Use an immersion blender for an extra-smooth base.
2. Freeze the Mixture
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, stopping at the max fill line.
- Seal with the lid and freeze for 24 hours on a flat surface.
3. Churn the Ice Cream
- Place the frozen container in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting and churn.
- If the texture is crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the Mix-Ins
- Make a well in the ice cream with a spoon. Add half of the chopped almonds and marshmallows.
- Return the container to the machine and use the “Mix-In” function.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Scoop into bowls or cones. Top with the remaining nuts and marshmallows for extra crunch and sweetness.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve in waffle cones or chilled bowls for an authentic ice cream shop vibe.
- Pair with warm brownies or cookies for an indulgent dessert.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami container with the lid sealed. Keeps up to 1 week in the freezer.
- Too firm after storage? Let sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes or use the “Re-spin” function before serving.
Tips & Tricks:
- Freeze marshmallows before adding to prevent melting during mixing.
- For a lighter version, use almond milk and coconut cream.
