Chocolate orange ice cream is a classic and irresistible combination. The intensity of chocolate blends perfectly with the tangy freshness of orange. If you're looking for a dessert that combines the indulgence of chocolate with a fruity touch, this ice cream is for you. With Ninja Creami, you'll get a creamy texture and perfectly balanced flavors.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 60 ml of liquid cream
- 100g dark chocolate (good quality, minimum 70% cocoa)
- 100 ml orange juice
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
- The zest of one orange (and the juice if you want to intensify the flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it always enhances the flavors of the chocolate)
Preparation :
- Prepare the orange chocolate base.
In a saucepan, heat the whole milk and cream over low heat, then add the dark chocolate pieces. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. At this point, it already smells so good that you might be tempted before the ice cream is even ready! Then add the orange zest and agave syrup, and mix well. For an even stronger orange flavor, you can add a little fresh orange juice, but not too much so that it becomes too runny. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
Pour your mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then place the container in the freezer for 24 hours . It's a long wait, but it's worth it for perfectly creamy ice cream. - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you will have a creamy chocolate orange ice cream, with that beautiful harmony between chocolate and orange. - Respin Tip:
If the ice cream is a little too firm after the first cycle, use the Respin to soften the texture. If necessary, add a little milk (about 30 ml) for an even creamier consistency.
My Personal Tip:
For a little extra indulgence, you can add dark chocolate chips using the Mix-In at the end. These chocolate pieces will provide a crunchy contrast that pairs wonderfully with the orange zest. And if you really want to indulge, add a few pieces of shortbread or candied orange zest for an even more sophisticated touch!
There you have it, your chocolate orange ice cream is ready! It's a delicious and balanced ice cream, where the richness of the chocolate is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the orange. With Ninja Creami, the texture is always creamy and each spoonful is an explosion of flavor. This ice cream is a real pleasure to enjoy, any time of year!
