Ingredients
With these quantities, you will obtain two small jars that come with the machine.
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup fresh cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 oz dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Tools
- 1 High-edged saucepan
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
Steps
Heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave (it should just warm up) then add the sugar and stir until well dissolved. Gradually add the cream and vanilla extract. Stir again to mix all the ingredients well. Pour the obtained base into two small jars that come with the machine. Cover with the lid and place in the freezer for 24 hours. When placing the jars inside the freezer, make sure they are on a flat surface 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 hasn’t frozen crookedly. Place the container with the ice cream inside the external bowl of the machine. 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 progress bar dashes will flash and then turn off. Remove the bowl from the appliance and take out the container with the softened ice cream.
Using a spoon, create a wide opening going down to the bottom of the container, add the chopped dark chocolate, mix the composition. Place the jar back in the bowl. Close with the lid with the blades and put it back in the machine. Select the EXTRAS button and let the machine complete the processing.
When the machine is finished, the stracciatella ice cream will be ready to enjoy.
Proceed in the same way with the second jar.
Notes
If the ice cream is left over, store it in the freezer and when using it next time if it’s too hard (though it never happened to me), just put it back in the machine and start the re-spin button.
