In your pint container, combine chocolate milk, pudding mix and cocoa powder. Whisk to combine. Cover the pint and freeze for 24 hours.
Use your Ninja Creami machine on “Ice Cream” setting.
Remove the pint and take a look at your ice cream. If you think the texture is a bit chalky (or not as creamy as you want), make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then, use the “re-spin” function. Repeat until texture is creamy.
Last, add the mix-ins and do one more spin on the "mix-ins" setting. Serve your ice cream right away. Garnish with more toppings or a maraschino cherry.
Notes
Add Protein - Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to any mixture for high-protein ice cream.
When to Serve - It’s best to spin Creami ice creams right before eating. If you freeze them again for more than a few hours, you may find the ice cream is hard again and want to use the “re-spin” function.
Label - If you make multiple flavors at once, be sure to label each flavor.
