🥄 Step 1: Add Your Base & Freeze

In your Ninja® CREAMi® pint container, combine:

  • 2 scoops of Polar Protein – Vanilla ice cream powder mix
  • 1 to 1¼ cups (250–300 mL) of milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g) of unsweetened cocoa powder

Mix well until smooth and no clumps remain.
Seal the lid and freeze for 24 hours.

❄️ Step 2: Add Milk & Process

Remove from the freezer and pour 60 mL (1/4 cup) of milk over the frozen mix.

Place in your Ninja® CREAMi® and process using:

  • “Lite Ice Cream” for Deluxe or Original models
  • “Creamify” for the Swirl model

Respin if needed for a smoother texture.

🍫 Step 3: Mix In the Chocolate Chips

Make a small well in the centre and add:

  • 15 g chocolate chips (about 1 tbsp)

Run the “Mix-In” cycle to distribute the chocolate chips evenly throughout.

🍦 Step 4: Enjoy

Scoop and enjoy right away, or freeze again for a firmer scoop.
