Ninja Creami Blue Bell Chocolate Lava Cake
Description
A creamy copycat of Blue Bell's Chocolate Lava Cake ice cream, made in the Ninja Creami: a smooth vanilla base with chocolate cake pieces, chocolate sundae sauce, and a dark chocolate fudge swirl.
Ingredients
Vanilla base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Mix-ins
- ½ cup chocolate cake, or brownie pieces cut small
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sundae sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate fudge sauce
Instructions
- Whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving ½ inch of headspace. Seal and freeze flat for at least 24 hours, until solid.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the Ninja Creami, and run the Ice Cream function.
- If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run the Re-Spin function until smooth and creamy.
- Make a well in the center, add the chocolate cake pieces and 1 tablespoon fudge sauce, and run the Mix-In function.
- Scoop into bowls, drizzle with the remaining sundae sauce and dark fudge, and swirl gently. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
- Ninja Creami Pint Container

Notes
- Full-fat cream and whole milk are essential for a creamy, non-icy scoop.
- For a richer, more chocolate-forward version, start from this Blue Bell Dutch chocolate base.
- Leftovers keep up to 2 weeks; Re-Spin before serving to restore texture.
