8 Ounces Milk Whole Milk
4 Ounces Half and Half
⅓ Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Instant Chocolate Pudding Powder
2 Tablespoons Dark Cocoa Powder

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the milk, half and half, sugar, instant pudding mix, and cocoa powder into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks more like dippin dots, (little balls of ice cream), re-spin without adding liquid.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Can premade pudding be used to make Ninja Creami ice cream?

Some folks have frozen premade pudding and turned it into a very thick “ice cream.” But, the texture is very thick and almost gooey. For this recipe, you will need to use the dry instant pudding mix. Do not use the cook and serve pudding mix. It needs to be instant pudding mix. Just add the dry mix as is. Do not follow the instructions on the box.

Can the dairy and sugar be substituted in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the dairy and sugar to fit your dietary needs. You can use any sugar substitute that you would like, just make sure that it is a 1:1 ratio with the sugar. The milk and half and half can also be substituted. However, some substitutes like oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and cashew milk have a lower fat content and will likely produce ice crystals and a less creamy result.
