Chocolate ice cream, a beloved dessert around the globe, boasts a rich history and an even richer flavor. Originating from the early 18th century, chocolate ice cream quickly captured the hearts of sweet-toothed individuals everywhere.
Kohl’s had one last Ninja Creami in the store yesterday so I grabbed it. My last Ninja Creami ended up burning inside somewhere and I coudn’t use the blade on it anymore. I think my problem was putting whole frozen fruit in it.
This time I’m going to make sure everything is properly blended first adding it. I can’t wait to make ice cream again. I love my Air Fryer, Blackstone, and Ninja Creami!

Why You Will Love this Chocolate Ice Cream
If you love vanilla ice cream in the Ninja Creami you will like chocolate ice cream!
Chocolate ice cream is fun to experiment with. You can experiment with all sorts of milk,non dairy milk,yogurt,or cottage cheese for more protein.
I decided to try this with cottage cheese again and add more flavorings like peanut butter and maple syrup for sweetener. It turned out better than the Viral cottage cheese ice cream that went crazy last year. It’s a nice and thick ice cream.
You can also make protein chocolate ice cream with your favorite protein brand of protein drinks.
