Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream
  • 1 Blender
  • 24 ounces Ninja Pint Container

Ingredients

Chocolate Ice Cream Base

  • 1½ cup Half and Half
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ cup hot water
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Instant Coffee
  • ½ cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Pistachio Ice Cream Base

  • 1 ½ cup half-and-half
  • ⅓ cup pistachio cream
  • ⅓ cup condensed milk
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A drop of green food coloring

Mix in

  • 1 tablespoon Salted Butter
  • ⅔ Chopped Kataifi Phyllo Dough

Instructions

Make Chocolate Ice Cream Base

  • Dissolve Cocoa Powder: In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with a few tablespoons of hot water until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  • Blend: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Freeze: Pour into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Spin: Place in the Ninja Creami machine and select the Ice Cream function.
  • Respin if needed: If crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and respin.
  • Set aside or freeze while you make pistachio ice cream base.

Make Pistachio Ice Cream Base

  • Blend: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Freeze: Pour into a Ninja CREAMi pint, cover, and freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
  • Spin: Insert into the Ninja CREAMi and use the “Ice Cream” setting.
  • Respin if needed: If crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and respin.
  • (Optional) Add Mix-Ins – Stir in chopped pistachios, then return the pint to the Ninja Creami and select the Mix-In function.
  • Set aside or freeze while you prepare the Kataifi mix-in.

Prepare Mixin

  • In a medium pan over low heat, melt the salted butter.
  • Once fully melted, add the kataifi phyllo dough and stir until it turns golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to cool before using it as an ice cream mix-in.
  • Scoop chocolate and pistachio ice cream into a bowl, then top with the crispy kataifi and chopped pistachios.

Notes

  • If too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoon milk and re-spin.
  • Taste your base before freezing—it should be slightly sweeter.
  • Kataifi can get soggy, so I recommend adding it as a topping.
