Ninja Creami Mint Chocolate Chip
Ninja Creami mint chocolate chip ice cream is a family favorite! This version is made with fresh mint leaves for authentic flavor and color.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons mint leaves
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 mini chocolate chips (see notes section for tips about size)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for the chocolate to a blender and blend together. Pour into your Ninja Creami container.
- Freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Run a little warm water along the outside of the Creami container to thaw the outer layer.
- Process on the ice cream setting. Make a hole/well in the center and add the chopped chocolate. Process again on the mix in setting.
- Scoop out and enjoy. (If you want the ice cream harder, return to the freezer for 15-30 minutes before scooping out).
Notes
-
- 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.
- To measure the mint, I usually just take a ¼ cup measuring cup and fill it ¾s of the way full. That equals 3 Tablespoons.
- 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.
