How To Make Ninja Creami Frozen Hot Chocolate

Step 1: Add the hot chocolate mix directly into an empty Ninja CREAMi Pint Container.
Pour the milk or chocolate milk into the pint until it reaches the DRINKABLE FILL line.
Step 2: Microwave the pint for about 1 minute to help dissolve the mix. Stir the mixture well until the powder is fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool, to room temperature. Then place the Ninja pint container lid on and place in the freezer for 24 hours.

Step 3: After freezing, remove the lid from the pint container. Follow the quick start guide to assemble the bowl and set up your Ninja CREAMi machine.
Step 4: Select the FULL option, then turn the dial to choose the CREAMICCINO setting.

Ninja Creami Frozen Hot Chocolate Recipe Tips
- Use chocolate milk for a richer, creamier base, or try plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Microwave the mix first to fully dissolve the hot chocolate powder for a smooth texture.
- Freeze on a flat surface to ensure an even spin during processing.
- Add pour-ins like milk or creamer before spinning for extra creaminess.
- Top it off with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, or chocolate drizzle for a fun and decadent finish!
Storing
Store any leftover Ninja Creami Frozen Hot Chocolate in the original pint container with the lid securely on. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before re-spinning to restore its creamy texture.

Hot Chocolate Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami Recipe Faqs
Can I use regular milk instead of chocolate milk? Yes, but for a richer chocolate flavor, you may want to add a bit more hot chocolate mix or a spoonful of cocoa powder.
What type of hot chocolate mix works best? Any store-bought or homemade hot cocoa mix will work—just make sure it fully dissolves before freezing for the smoothest texture.
Can I make this dairy-free? Absolutely! Use a plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut, and make sure your hot chocolate mix is dairy-free too.
What if my ice cream is crumbly after spinning? No problem—just add a tablespoon or two of milk and use the Re-Spin function until it’s creamy.
Can I add toppings? Yes! Whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of syrup all make delicious finishing touches.
