Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate milk (whole milk version works best)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depends on chocolate milk sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional mix-ins:

  • Chocolate chips
  • Brownie chunks
  • Peanut butter swirls
  • Chopped nuts
  • Crushed cookies
  • Caramel drizzle
  • Marshmallows
  • Fudge pieces

Instructions

  1. Mix the base.
    In a medium bowl, whisk together chocolate milk, heavy cream, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined. Taste—adjust sweetness if your chocolate milk is less sweet.
  2. Consistency check.
    Mixture should be smooth and pourable. If you want richer flavor, let sit 10 minutes for cream to fully incorporate. Chocolate milk varies by brand, so taste is key.
  3. Pour into pint.
    Transfer to Ninja Creami pint container, staying below MAX FILL line. Chocolate milk bases expand during freezing. Secure lid tightly.
  4. Freeze completely.
    Freeze upright for 24 hours minimum on level surface. Chocolate milk’s sugars create slightly softer freeze but needs full time for perfect results.
  5. First spin.
    Remove pint from freezer, assemble in Ninja Creami outer bowl. Process on Ice Cream setting for richest texture.
  6. Texture assessment.
    Chocolate milk often spins very smooth first time due to emulsifiers. If slightly powdery, proceed to re-spin.
  7. Re-spin if needed.
    Add 1 tablespoon milk to center, run Re-spin cycle. Usually needs 0-1 respin cycles.
  8. Mix-ins (optional).
    Create deep center well, add 2 tablespoons mix-ins (brownie chunks + chocolate chips = chocolate overload!), run Mix-ins cycle once.
  9. Serve immediately.
    Perfect soft-serve texture right away, or freeze 30 minutes for classic scoops. Garnish with chocolate syrup.
  10. Storage.
    Airtight container, lasts 1 week. Flavor improves day 2-3 as it mellows.
