This Ninja Creami chocolate base ditches processed pudding mixes and leans into real, single-ingredient flavors for a pure, ultra-creamy treat. The combination of high-quality cocoa, maple syrup, and a touch of sea salt delivers a deep, rich chocolate profile—without any artificial aftertaste. Heating the base helps the cocoa bloom and dissolve fully, ensuring a smooth, decadent result. Whether you use dairy or opt for coconut cream and oat milk, you’ll get luscious texture and honest chocolate flavor—perfect for California’s cool, cloudy evenings or any time you need a chocolate fix. This is chocolate ice cream at its cleanest and best!

Ingredients

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, cream, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt until smooth and cocoa is fully dissolved.
Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until steaming but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes). Do not let it simmer—just heat until it’s completely blended and warm.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Let cool to room temperature, then pour into the Ninja Creami pint container. Seal and refrigerate until fully chilled (at least 4 hours, ideally overnight).
Once chilled, freeze the pint for 24 hours (or per Creami instructions) until solid.
Process in the Ninja Creami on the 'Ice Cream' setting. If needed, respin once or twice, adding a tablespoon of milk or cream between spins for extra creaminess.
