Equipment
- Ninja Creami Machine
- Ninja Creami pint jar
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- 2-3 drops green food coloring
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream, optional use if ice cream is dry after being churned
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the ice cream base by adding heavy cream, whole milk, powdered sugar, mint extract, and 2 drops of green food coloring to a blender, food processor, or personal blender. Blend on high speed until combined. If you want the ice cream to be darker green, add another drop of food coloring and blend again.
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint jar, making sure not to fill past the MAX FILL line. Place on the lid and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Remove the pint jar from the freezer, take off the lid, and set the pint container into the Ninja Creami bowl. Secure the lid and place the bowl assembly onto the machine. Turn the handle right and lock it in place on the motor base. Select the "Ice Cream" function and let the machine churn the ice cream.
- If the ice cream appears too thick or crumbly after churning, use a spoon to create a small hole in the middle of the ice cream. Add a tablespoon of heavy cream, place the lid assembly back on, and use the "RE-SPIN" function for a smoother texture.
- Remove the lid and use a spoon to make a well in the center of the ice cream down to the bottom of the pint jar. Add chocolate chips, place on the lid assembly, and select the MIX-IN function.
- Once churned, remove the pint jar from the machine and remove the lid. The ice cream should have a creamy consistency. Serve immediately and enjoy!

- Place the pint jar on a level surface in the freezer.
