2. Ingredients You’ll Need—a Clean, Quality List
Here’s your shopping list. No artificial flavors, no sugar bombs—just good stuff.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Base
| Ingredient | Quantity | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Unsweetened almond milk | 1 cup | Base liquid |
| Heavy cream | ½ cup | Richness and creaminess |
| Allulose or monk fruit sweetener | ¼ cup | Sweetness without sugar |
| Unsweetened cocoa powder | 3 tbsp | Chocolate richness |
| Natural peanut butter (no sugar) | ¼ cup | Peanut flavor and fat content |
| Vanilla extract | 1 tsp | Depth of flavor |
| Pinch of sea salt | — | Heightens taste and balances sweetness |
Optional Add-ins:
- 1 tbsp collagen or whey protein – extra creaminess
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (sugar-free) – for bites
- 1 tsp cinnamon or espresso powder – intensify flavor
3. Tools – No Specialized Gear, Just Your Creami
All you need is your Ninja Creami plus kitchen essentials:
- Creami with blade and pint container
- Whisk or blender for mixing
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Freezer space for a 24‑hour freeze
That’s it—no fancy equipment needed.
4. Step 1: Make Your Chocolate Peanut Butter Base
Mixing this right matters. Here’s how:
- In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, cream, sweetener, and cocoa until fully dissolved.
- Blend in peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and any optional add-ins until smooth.
- Taste it—adjust for more chocolate, peanut, or sweetness until it wows.
Remember, flavor mutes after freezing. Aim for slightly stronger taste now.
5. Step 2: Freeze the Pint Properly
When filling:
- Pour mixture into the Creami pint container, staying below the MAX line.
- Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
- Seal the lid and freeze flat for at least 24 hours.
A full freeze ensures a creamy spin result.
6. Step 3: Spin the Base into Creamy Ice Cream
Time to watch the Creami do its thing:
- Load the frozen pint, secure the blade lid.
- Select the “Ice Cream” function and press start.
- After the cycle, check texture. Add 1–2 tbsp almond milk or cream if it looks crumbly.
- Press “Re-spin” for smooth, scoopable results.
That’s when you’ll see the magic—velvety chocolate ice cream transformed in minutes.
7. Step 4: Add Peanut Butter Swirl and Mix-ins
Want more peanut butter pulls or crunch?
- Create a dimple in the spun ice cream.
- Add 1–2 tbsp natural peanut butter (warmed slightly for swirl).
- Toss in chocolate chips or add-in of choice.
- Use “Mix-In” mode to distribute without overworking.
Now every spoon gives silky chocolate with pockets of peanut butter delight.
