Ingredients Needed For Ninja Creami Chocolate Milkshake

With a few basic ingredients, you can meet his delicious chocolate creamy milkshake in minutes!

Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

• Milk – Whole milk adds sweetness to this milkshake and helps to achieve the desired creamy texture, but you could use heavy cream, Fairlife Chocolate Milk, coconut milk, or non-dairy milk instead.
• Chocolate ice cream – Use your favorite store bought ice cream or homemade ice cream. Full-fat or full-cream ice cream will create a thick and creamy milkshake, but you could choose low-fat. Non-dairy ice cream is also an option for those with allergies.
• Chocolate syrup – Use store-bought chocolate syrup or try my Copycat Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup.
• Protein Powder (Optional): Add a couple of tablespoons of chocolate protein to your recipe. 
• Favorite Toppings – I’ve added whipped cream and chocolate shavings to this chocolate milkshake. Experiment with other toppings, such as chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, coconut shavings, chocolate sprinkles, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or syrup, or maraschino cherries.

Pro Tips For Making Chocolate Milkshakes In Ninja Creami Machine

• Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate ice cream or homemade chocolate ice cream. The richer the chocolate, the more luxurious your shake will taste.
• Consistency: If you prefer a thicker shake, use less milk or add more ice cream. For a thinner shake, add a splash of milk to the mix.
• Temperature: Ensure your ingredients, especially ice cream or frozen dairy, are adequately chilled. This ensures a smooth blending process and prevents the shake from becoming too runny.
• Mix-ins: Consider adding mix-ins for texture and flavor. Think chocolate chips, vanilla extract, crushed cookies, or brownie bits. Ensure they’re added towards the end of the blending process to maintain chunkiness.
• Customize: The beauty of making shakes at home is customization. Add a shot of espresso for a mocha shake or a touch of mint extract for a mint chocolate variation.
• Garnish: Elevate the presentation by garnishing with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or even a cherry on top.
• Cleaning: Clean the Ninja Creami Machine immediately after use. This prevents residues from hardening and makes the cleaning process more straightforward.
• Taste Test: Before pouring into glasses, give your shake a quick taste. This allows you to adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity if needed.
• Serving Glasses: For an extra touch of sophistication, chill your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before pouring the shake. This keeps your shake cooler for longer.
• Alternate Dairy: If you’re lactose intolerant or looking for a lighter option, consider using almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk. Just note that each will impart its unique flavor to the shake.
• Armed with these pro tips, your Ninja Creami Machine will become your go-to for crafting the most divine and creamy chocolate milkshakes right at home!

Can I use chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder?
Absolutely! Chocolate syrup can provide a sweeter and smoother texture to your shake. Just adjust the quantity based on your desired sweetness.

Is it possible to make a dairy-free chocolate shake in the Ninja Creami Machine?
Yes, you can use alternatives like almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk. There are also dairy-free ice creams available which can be used as a base.

How can I make my chocolate shake creamier?
Using full-fat milk or adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream during the blending process can enhance creaminess.

Can I add fruits to my chocolate shake?
Certainly! Fresh fruit, like bananas, strawberries, and cherries pair wonderfully with chocolate. Just ensure they’re clean and adequately prepped before adding.

My shake is too thick. How can I adjust it?
Simply add a little more milk and blend until you achieve the desired consistency.

How can I achieve a colder shake?
You can add a few ice cubes during the blending process or use chilled glasses for serving.

I want a richer chocolate flavor. Any suggestions?
You can increase the amount of cocoa powder or add dark chocolate chunks. Using a chocolate ice cream base instead of vanilla can also enhance the chocolaty richness.

How long can I store leftover chocolate shake in the refrigerator?
While best enjoyed fresh, you can store a chocolate shake in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, the consistency might change, so give it a quick blend before consuming.

Transfer the ice cream from the Ninja Pint Containers, or ice cream pints. Store any leftover ice cream in a freezer-safe container, or airtight container.
