How to Make Chocolate Elvis Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami
You’ll need: A blender + your Ninja Creami
Step 1: Blend it up. Add bananas, peanut butters, cocoa powder, and soy milk to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Freeze it. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
Step 3: Spin it. Let the frozen pint sit out for 10–15 minutes. Smooth out any bumps on top and spin using the Lite Ice Cream setting.
Step 4: Re-spin: If the ice cream is a little powdery after the first spin, add 2-3 tablespoon of plant-based milk, flatten out the top and process again on the re-spin setting. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Creamy Results
- Use ripe, spotty bananas for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
- Want it extra indulgent? Add a swirl of peanut butter on top before serving.
- This is a great post-workout treat thanks to the bananas and protein!
- All the sweetness comes from banana in this recipe. Taste your mixture and add a touch of maple syrup or a couple dates to increase the sweetness to your tastes, if needed.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftovers (you won’t), smooth the top of the pint and return it to the freezer. Spin on lite ice cream setting again when ready to enjoy!
💡 Pro tip: Prep a few pints ahead of time and keep them in your freezer for easy, healthy snacks or breakfasts all week. Grab a few extra Ninja Creami pint containers so you can always have a stash of ice cream ready when the craving hits!
FAQ
