Ninja Creami Dubai chocolate ice cream reimagines the popular chocolate bar into ice cream! This is easy to make in your Ninja Creami and is full of pistachio and chocolate flavors.
I have been dreaming about making this Dubai chocolate ice cream for months. And it's been a process, but a delicious one.
I bought many Dubai chocolate candy bars to make sure I understood the flavor and textures. I found kadayif, the shredded phyllo dough. I picked up a jar of pistachio cream.
And then it was time. I made it. This Ninja Creami Dubai chocolate ice cream has all the flavors and textures of the Dubai chocolate bar. My husband said it really was like the chocolate bar in ice cream form, and to quote him "it takes like luxury."
Luckily, it's actually pretty easy to make. It just takes a few steps, and you have a delicious Dubai chocolate ice cream.
Ingredients
For ice cream
- Milk - You can use your favorite type of milk here. I typically just use whole milk.
- Cottage cheese - This is going to give the pistachio ice cream the perfect amount of creaminess.
- Sugar - I typically use just plain granulated sugar.
- Pistachio cream - This is going to give the ice cream a delicious pistachio flavor.
For toppings
- Kadayif - This is also known as kadaif, kataifi or katayef. It is a shredded phyllo dough that crisps up beautifully.
- Butter - You'll use this both for the chocolate and for crisping the kadayif.
- Chocolate bar or chocolate chips - For making the melted chocolate to pour over the ice cream.
How to make Ninja Creami Dubai chocolate ice cream
Add all ice cream ingredients to the blender and blend to combine. Pour into the Ninja Creami pint and freeze for at least 24 hours.
Make the crispy kadayif by melting butter in a skillet over low heat, adding shredded kadayif, (breaking apart if needed), and cooking slowly so it doesn't burn, stirring with a spatula frequently.
Once kadayif is crispy and lightly browned, place in a bowl with pistachio cream and stir to combine.
Next, take chocolate and butter and melt. I do this on 10 second increments in the microwave, stirring after every 10 seconds (this makes sure the chocolate doesn't burn).
Chocolate should be nice and melty after 40-60 seconds.
Now it's time to process the ice cream! I like to take mine out of the freezer 15 minutes before processing or run a little warm water on the outside to thaw the outside layer. Process on the ice cream setting of your Ninja Creami.
If it's crumbly, you can add a splash of milk and respin. However, mine did not need any respinning.
Add as much as you want of the crispy kadayif to the Ninja Creami pint.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Stir together if you want, or just eat as is!
Of course you can scoop it out and eat it from a bowl! Especially if you're sharing with others.
Recipe tips
- If your pistachio ice cream is crumbly after processing, add a splash of milk and respin.
- If you have leftover ice cream, smooth out the top and place it in the freezer. It may need to be reprocessed before serving again if it's too hard.
- You can use your favorite chocolate. I used milk chocolate, but dark chocolate is also delicious.
