- Pour into your Ninja Creami pint up to the max fill line. Seal and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
- Let the pint sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes, then lock it into your Ninja Creami and select Ice Cream.
- If the texture looks crumbly, select Respin once.
- Make a well in the center, add the marshmallows, nuts, and chocolate chunks, then select Mix-In.¼ cup mini marshmallows, ¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts, ¼ cup chocolate chunks or chips
- Scoop right away, or refreeze for 20 to 30 minutes for firmer scoops.
Notes
- Blend until totally smooth. Cottage cheese lumps will not disappear during spinning.
- Add mix-ins only after the base is smooth, not before the first spin.
- Use mini marshmallows so they distribute better during the Mix-In cycle.
- For a softer texture, eat right after spinning. For firmer scoops, freeze briefly after mixing.
- If leftovers freeze hard, re-spin before serving.
