Ninja Creami frozen hot chocolate ice cream is a delicious chocolate treat. It uses hot chocolate mix for that perfect flavor.
Have you ever wondered... what can I do with those hot chocolate packets other than making hot chocolate? Or maybe you saw the Serendipity movie with John Cusack and thought... what does frozen hot chocolate taste like?
I actually DID visit Serendipity (the NYC restaurant from the movie) back in 2006. Several years after the movie came out. I had the frozen hot chocolate and it was delicious.
Sooo.. I decided to use hot chocolate mix to make a Ninja Creami frozen hot chocolate ice cream. It was delicious.
There is one important thing to note with this recipe. The sweetness comes from the hot chocolate mix, or you will need to add additional sugar. So if you're using an unsweetened hot chocolate mix, you'll want to add additional sugar. See the recipe notes for more details!
Ingredients

- Milk
- Hot chocolate mix/powder

How to make Ninja Creami frozen hot chocolate ice cream
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your Ninja Creami container and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
Remove from the freezer and process on the light ice cream setting.
If needed, add a splash of milk and respin.
You may need several respins, but mine only needed one!
Recipe tips
- The sugar in this ice cream comes from the hot chocolate packets. If you are using hot chocolate mix that is not sweet or barely sweet, you will want to add additional sugar. I recommend 2 Tbsp-¼ cup sugar, depending on how sweet you want your ice cream). Blend the ingredients and then sample. If the mixture does not taste sweet enough, add sugar.
- To top this ice cream, add whipped cream, cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or marshmallows. For a holiday spin, add crushed candy canes or peppermints.
