The chocolate ice cream is an essential classic, creamy, soft, fresh, enveloping, delicious, with a rich and intense taste. Chocolate ice cream is made with a few simple ingredients, but you need the Ninja Creami, which is very easy to use, takes up little space, and allows you to create delicious ice creams at home.

Ingredients
With these amounts, you will get two small jars provided with the machine.
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup fresh cream
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
Tools
- 1 Tall-sided saucepan
- 1 Hand whisk
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Mini whisk
- 1 Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
Steps
Heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave (it just needs to warm slightly). In a small bowl, pour the unsweetened cocoa. Take a few tablespoons of milk, add it to the cocoa, and mix well with the mini whisk. Add the cocoa to the rest of the milk, then add the sugar and stir until well dissolved. Also, slowly add the cream. Mix well with a whisk to blend all the ingredients. Pour the base into two small jars provided with the machine. Cover with the lid and place in the freezer for 24 hours. When placing the jars in the freezer, ensure they are on a flat surface, straight, and that the cream inside is well leveled.
After the resting time, take one jar at a time out of the freezer, remove the lid, and check that the mixture has not frozen at an angle. Place the ice cream container in the machine’s outer bowl. Install the paddles (or blades) on the top of the outer lid, securing them well. Place the lid on the bowl containing the ice cream and turn it clockwise to lock it. Place the bowl on the motor base and lock it in place. When it’s in the right position, you will hear a click.
Select the ICE CREAM start program to begin processing. At the end of the processing, all four bars of the progress bar will flash and then turn off. Remove the bowl from the appliance and take out the container with the softened ice cream, which will be ready to serve and enjoy.
Proceed in the same way with the second jar.
Notes
If there is any leftover ice cream, it can be stored in the freezer, and if it is too hard upon the next use (although this has never happened to me), just put it back in the machine and press the re-spin button.
