    Ninja Creami Almond Joy Ice Cream


    Tips for making Ninja Creami Almond Joy Ice Cream

    What does an almond joy taste like?

    If you've never tasted an almond joy before, you are missing out! Almond Joy's have a chewy, almost gooey, coconut filling that is topped with whole almonds and then dipped in milk chocolate! They are so good!

    Where do I find toasted coconut?

    You may be able to find toasted coconut at your grocery store. If not, don't worry! It's super easy to toast your own coconut! Simply put the amount of shredded coconut that you want to toast into a small skillet and cook on medium for a few minutes. Stir the coconut so that it evenly browns. It should only take a few minutes. You can use either sweetened or unsweetened coconut. If it's sweetened, it will cook faster because of the added sugar.

    How do I get creamier ice cream with the Ninja Creami?

    If you have made ice cream and it just isn’t quite as creami as you would like, you can very easily get it super creami by using the re-spin function on the Ninja Creami. Simply place the pint into the outer bowl and snap it into place. Choose the RE-SPIN function. Once the cycle completes, remove the pint and enjoy! Your gelato should be nice and creamy again. ***Use re-spin on already spun ice cream. If the ice cream has been spun and then frozen again, do not use re-spin, Instead, use the original process (ice cream, gelato, etc.)

    How long can I freeze my ice cream?

    It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.

    Why is my ice cream dry and crumbly?

    Usually, if your ice cream/sorbet comes out dry or crumbly it's due to one of the following reasons:
    *Your freezer is too cold. Try to adjust your freezer to be a little warmer or let your ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing it.
    *Your recipe does not have enough fat in it. Try adding in a little bit of a higher fat dairy product to your recipe next time.
    *Your recipe may not have enough sugar in it. The less sugar in the recipe, the icier and crumblier the ice cream will be. Regular sugar, honey, or corn syrup can be used to increase the sugar content if desired.

    Ingredient substitutions and tips for making Ninja Creami Almond Joy Ice Cream:


    The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.

    Chocolate Milk- Whole milk was used for this recipe but lower fat milk can be used instead. The final product may not be as creamy with lower fat milk.

    Half and Half-
    If you don't have half and half, you can use 3 parts whole milk and 1 part heavy cream instead.

    Almond Milk Creamer- Silk Sweet and Creamy Almond Milk Creamer was used for this recipe. Any brand can be used but note that it is CREAMER that is used and not milk.

    Almond Extract- If you don't have almond extract, you can use vanilla extract. The flavor will be similar but not quite as strong. So, if you use vanilla, use about twice as much.

    Cream of Coconut-
    Coco Real was used for this recipe. You can use Coco Lopez or any other type of cream of coconut. If you prefer a milder coconut flavor, this ingredient can be omitted.

    Coconut-
    Toasted- Sweetened or unsweetened, shredded coconut can be used. It is preferred to use toasted, but you can use untoasted if you prefer.

    Almonds-
    Toasted, slices. It is not recommended to use whole almonds in this recipe as they will be more difficult on the machine and will not break up much during the mix-in process.

    Chocolate Chips-
    Milk chocolate mini chips
