Crisp chocolate shards folded into creamy mint chocolate protein ice cream. Made by hardening a magic shell mixture, then breaking it into pieces so it stays crunchy instead of melting into the base. A customer creation from David Marrione.
2 scoops of CRUSHS mix
Milk: 10-12 oz
Dark chocolate chips: 24g (~2 Tbsp)
Coconut oil: 4g (~1 tsp)
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil, then spread thin on parchment paper and freeze until hard (about 15 minutes)
Add 2 scoops of CRUSHS and your milk to the pint
Blend well and freeze for 24 hours
Spin on Lite Ice Cream mode
Make a small divot in the center and add a splash of milk (1-2 oz)
Break the hardened chocolate into small shards and add them in
Respin using the Mix-In button
Enjoy!
For the Deluxe Creami, increase all ingredients by 50%
Blend 2 scoops of CRUSHS with 10 oz milk until smooth
Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours to thicken
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil, then let cool until just warm
Pour into your ice cream maker and churn for 10-20 minutes
In the last minute of churning, drizzle the melted chocolate in slowly so it sets into thin ribbons
Serve immediately or freeze for 5-15 minutes for a firmer texture
For 1-quart machines, double all amounts
The Ninja Creami pint is sealed during spinning, so you cannot drizzle liquid chocolate in like a churning machine. Hardening it into shards first is what makes this work in the Creami.
Nutrition shown is for base mix and milk only. Mix-ins will add to totals.
CRUSHS is good on its own, but when you add fun stuff it takes it to the next level. Mix-ins generally work best with a Creami. Most of the time you'll want to add them after the first spin. Make a little divot in the center of your pint, drop your stuff in along with a splash of milk, then hit the Mix-In button. You've now turned your base into something special. Don't be afraid to experiment!
Either works, but for the best texture, add heavier or delicate mix-ins (like sauces, peanut butter, cookies) after your first spin. Then, add your mix-ins along with a splash of milk and hit the Mix-In button.
No. Our amounts are a guide. Feel free to add more or less depending on how you like your pint.
Frozen fruits, crunchy textures (like crushed cookies, nuts), and creamy swirls (like peanut butter or caramel) all work great. Frozen fruits work best for texture. Add softer swirls after spinning. Adjust everything to your taste.
