Ingredients
- 50g Hazelnut & Cacao spread
- 200ml Almond milk
- 70g Cream cheese
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 40g Performance Chocolate Hazelnut
- Optional: Chopped hazelnuts for mixing in and dark chocolate sauce for topping
Instructions
- Prep: Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami tub, secure the lid, and freeze flat for 24 hours.
- Process: When ready to serve, remove the tub from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the tub into the outer bowl, lock it into the machine following the manufacturer's instructions, and select ICE CREAM.
- Adjust Texture: If the ice cream is crumbly after the first spin, add 1 to 3 tbsp of plant-based milk, reassemble, and press RE-SPIN. Repeat if needed until creamy.
- Add Mix-Ins (Optional): To add extras, use a spoon to create a 4 cm-wide hole down the centre of the tub. Add the chopped hazelnuts, reassemble, and select MIX-IN.
- Serve: Scoop and enjoy immediately!
