- After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja Creami, select the “Gelato” setting, and let it process.
- Once the gelato is churned, create a well in the center of the pint. Add the chopped almonds and mini chocolate chips. Process again using the “Mix-In” function.
- If the gelato looks crumbly, respin using the “Gelato” setting until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with extra almonds or chocolate chips for added texture.

Troubleshooting Tips
- If the mix becomes too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of milk during the Mix-In phase.

Enjoy your Ninja Creami Chocolate Almond Chip Gelatoβa rich and indulgent treat that warms up any winter day. Let me know how it turns out! π
I first discovered the combination of chocolate and almonds during a winter vacation at a cozy mountain lodge. After a long day of skiing, the lodge served us a warm dessert topped with a scoop of chocolate almond ice cream. That single scoop transported me to a place of pure comfortβits nutty crunch perfectly balanced the rich, creamy chocolate. Inspired by that memory, I recreated this recipe using my Ninja Creami, ensuring every bite takes me back to that serene, snowy evening. Itβs now a winter staple in my home, paired with warm brownies or simply enjoyed by the fire.
