Ninja Creami mint chocolate chip ice cream is a family favorite! This version is made with fresh mint leaves for authentic flavor and color.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is the favorite ice cream of two out of the four members of this house. When I realized I hadn't made a Ninja Creami mint chocolate chip ice cream yet, I couldn't believe it!
So I set out to remedy that quickly. I also decided I wanted to make one with actual mint leaves. No extract or food coloring or anything. This uses cottage cheese to give the ice cream a delicious creaminess.
So yes, the green color comes from the mint leaves. The flavor comes from the mint leaves. And my daughter loved it. And in my book, that's the most important thing since I'm here making these recipes for my family (and you too!)
Ingredients
- Cottage cheese
- Milk
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Mint leaves
- Chocolate chips or chocolate bar
How to make Ninja Creami mint chocolate chip ice cream
Add all ingredients to a blender except for the chocolate chips/chocolate. Blend together to combine.
Pour into your Ninja Creami container and freeze for at least 24 hours on a level surface in your freezer.
After freezing, your ice cream may look like this!
Process on the ice cream setting. Make a indentation in the middle and add your chopped chocolate chip pieces or chopped chocolate pieces.
Use the mix in feature to incorporate your chocolate, and then scoop out and enjoy! If you want your ice cream slightly more set, return to the freezer for 15-30 minutes before scooping out.
Recipe tips
- Cut your chocolate chips/pieces into the size you want them to be in your ice cream. The Ninja Creami doesn't really make them any smaller, so if you want small pieces, chop them up to the size you want.
- Run a little warm water along the outside of the Creami container before processing. This will help unfreeze the very outer layer of ice cream.
- If you have leftovers, smooth out the top and return to the freezer. You may need to reprocess before enjoying again.
