Equipment

  • Ninja Creami Machine – Essential for processing and creating the smooth ice cream texture.
  • Ninja Creami Pint Container with Lid – Used for freezing the ice cream mixture.
  • Mixing Bowl – To combine and whisk the ingredients before freezing.
  • Whisk or Spoon – For mixing the pudding mix, milk, and cream until smooth.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons – To accurately measure the ingredients.
  • Spatula (Optional) – Helps scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even mix.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk – For a creamy base.
  • ¾ cup (180ml) heavy cream – Adds richness and smooth texture.
  • 1 package (3.9 oz or 110g) instant chocolate pudding mix – Ensures a thick, creamy consistency
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) sugar (optional) – For added sweetness, if desired.
  • Pinch of salt – Balances and enhances the flavors.

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole milk, heavy cream, instant chocolate pudding mix, vanilla extract, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  • Transfer to Pint Container
    Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid tightly.
  • Freeze for 24 Hours
    Place the container in the freezer on a level surface and freeze for at least 24 hours until completely solid.
  • Process in the Ninja Creami
    Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami machine. Select the Ice Cream function and process until smooth. If the texture appears crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and use the Re-Spin function for extra creaminess.
  • Serve and Enjoy
    Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately! For extra flavor, mix in chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or nuts using the Mix-In function. Store any leftovers in the freezer and re-spin before serving.

Notes

Use Instant Pudding Mix: Regular cook-and-serve pudding won’t work as it requires heat to thicken. Instant pudding ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
Freeze for a Full 24 Hours: The mixture must be completely solid before processing in the Ninja Creami for the best results.
Re-Spin for Extra Creaminess: If the ice cream appears crumbly after the first spin, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and use the Re-Spin function for a smoother texture.
Dairy-Free Alternative: Use full-fat coconut milk or almond milk and a dairy-free pudding mix for a lactose-free version.
Customization Options: Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or nuts using the Mix-In function for extra texture and flavor.
Storage Tip: Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container and re-spin before serving to restore the creamy texture.
