How To Make Easy Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Step 1: In a blender or mixing bowl, whisk together milk, cocoa powder, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Make sure everything’s fully dissolved — no cocoa clumps allowed.

Step 2: Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Pop the lid on and freeze it on a flat surface for at least 24 hours. (Yes, 24 — don’t rush it, or your Creami will give you a milkshake instead of ice cream.)

Step 3: Once fully frozen, remove from the freezer and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes. Then, place it into your Ninja Creami machine and run the Ice Cream function.
Step 4: If it’s a little crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and hit Re-spin. This brings it right to that perfect creamy consistency.
Step 5: If you want extra texture, make a small well in the middle and add your mix-ins. Run the Mix-in cycle and let the Creami do its magic.

Easy Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipe Tips
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; avoid natural or chunky types.
- Freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours to ensure scoopable, thick ice cream.
- Blend ingredients thoroughly to remove cocoa lumps and fully incorporate peanut butter.
- Re-spin if crumbly: add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run the Re-spin function for silky creaminess.
- Add mix-ins last during the Mix-in cycle to avoid interfering with smooth spinning.
- Serve fresh for best texture; store leftovers in the pint and re-spin before serving again.
Storing Instructions
Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 week, and before serving again, let it sit for 5–10 minutes and run the Re-spin function to restore its creamy texture.

Easy Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Recipe Faqs
Can I make this dairy-free? Yes! Substitute almond, oat, or coconut milk and use a dairy-free peanut butter and cocoa to keep it creamy.
Why is my ice cream crumbly after spinning? This usually happens if it wasn’t fully frozen or the mixture needs a little moisture. Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run the Re-spin function.
Can I add mix-ins before freezing? It’s best to add chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, or candy during the Mix-in cycle. Adding them beforehand can interfere with smooth spinning.
How long can I store leftovers? Keep leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid sealed for up to 1 week. Re-spin before serving to restore creaminess.
Can I make this ahead of time for a party? Absolutely! Freeze the base at least 24 hours in advance, then spin and add mix-ins just before serving for fresh, creamy ice cream.
