Ninja Creami Dark Chocolate Gelato

Directions

• Heat the Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just about to simmer—do not let it boil!
• Melt the Chocolate: Remove the pan from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth. This creates the luscious chocolate base.
• Add Cocoa and Sugar: Whisk in the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps of cocoa for a smooth texture.
• Flavor It Up: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. These add depth and enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Cool the Mixture: Let the mixture cool to room temperature. To speed up the process, you can set the saucepan in an ice bath.
• Pour into the Creami Pint: Once cooled, pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring you do not exceed the max fill line.
• Freeze: Place the pint in your freezer for 24 hours, making sure it’s level and not tilted.
• Process with Ninja Creami: After freezing, insert the pint into your Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Gelato” function for a perfectly churned dark chocolate gelato.
• Re-spin if Needed: If the texture isn’t as creamy as you like, use the “Re-spin” function once or twice until smooth.
• Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls, garnish with some chocolate shavings or fresh berries if desired, and enjoy the ultimate dark chocolate indulgence!
