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.

Notes
If the ice cream turns out crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and respin.
Always freeze for a minimum of 24 hours before spinning for the best results.
For a rich chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dissolve it in hot water first. Blending cocoa powder directly with other ingredients may take longer and create excess bubbles in the mixture.
