How To Make Almond Joy Ice Cream In Ninja Creami

To make Almond Joy ice cream in the Ninja Creami, follow these simple steps:

Prepare The Ice Cream Base: Begin by pouring chocolate milk, half and half, almond milk creamer, almond extract, and cream of coconut into an empty Ninja Creami Pint Container. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a large spoon, then transfer the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.

Process: After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami. Process the mixture using the “ICE CREAM” setting.

Mix-Ins: If the ice cream appears dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of milk and re-spin, depending on how creamy you would like the ice cream. To add mix-ins’: Create a well in the center of the ice cream and add toasted coconut, toasted almonds, and chocolate chips. Process again on the “mix-ins” setting.

Serving: After processing, remove the pint from the machine and top the ice cream with additional toasted coconut, almonds, and chocolate sauce. Serve and enjoy your homemade Almond Joy-inspired treat!

Pro Tips

Here are some pro tips for making Ninja Creami Almond Joy Ice Cream:

Chill Ingredients: Before blending, chill the chocolate milk, half and half, almond milk creamer, and cream of coconut in the refrigerator. Cold ingredients help the ice cream freeze faster and have a creamier texture.
Adjust Almond Extract: Start with a little almond extract, such as ½ teaspoon, and taste the mixture before adding more. Almond extract can be potent, so adjust according to your preference to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Freeze Properly: Ensure your freezer is set to the recommended temperature range of 9 to -7 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal freezing. This ensures that the ice cream freezes evenly and prevents icy textures.
Prevent Ice Crystals: To minimize ice crystals, freeze the mixture with the container lid off. This allows excess moisture to evaporate, reducing the likelihood of a gritty texture.
Monitor Consistency: Keep an eye on the consistency of the ice cream during processing. Add a tablespoon or two of milk to improve creaminess if it appears too dry or crumbly.
Add Mix-Ins Carefully: When adding toasted coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips, create a well in the center of the ice cream to prevent it from sinking to the bottom. This ensures even distribution throughout the ice cream.
Toast Mix-Ins: Toasting coconut and almonds enhances their flavor and adds a delicious crunch to the ice cream. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven or toast in a dry skillet until golden brown before adding to the ice cream.
Experiment with Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Drizzle additional chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the finished ice cream for extra indulgence, or sprinkle with shredded coconut or chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.

Following these pro tips, you’ll be able to create perfectly creamy and flavorful Ninja Creami Almond Joy Ice Cream every time!
