Ninja Creami Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk š„
1 cup heavy cream š„
1/2 cup granulated sugar š
1/4 cup instant coffee granules ā
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder š«
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract š¦
A pinch of salt š§
1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds š°
1/2 cup fudge sauce š«
Directions
- Mix the base: In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, instant coffee granules, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar and coffee granules are completely dissolved.
- Add vanilla and salt: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Ninja Creami container: Pour the cooled mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid tightly.
- Freeze: Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours. This ensures the base is solid enough for the Creami to churn.
- Process the base: After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja Creami, select the “Ice Cream” setting, and start the machine.
- Add mix-ins: Once the cycle is complete, remove the pint and create a hole in the center of the ice cream using the back of a spoon. Pour in the chopped roasted almonds and drizzle in the fudge sauce.
- Mix-in cycle: Reinsert the pint into the Ninja Creami and select the “Mix-in” setting. This will evenly distribute the almonds and fudge throughout the ice cream.
- Enjoy: Scoop the freshly made mocha almond fudge ice cream into bowls or cones. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Variations to Try
- Mocha Almond Crunch: Add toffee bits along with the almonds for an extra crunchy texture.
- Mint Mocha Almond Fudge: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the base mixture for a minty twist.
- Vegan Mocha Almond Fudge: Use coconut milk and a plant-based cream substitute for a dairy-free version.
Storing Your Ice Cream
