Lemon stracciatella ice cream is a refreshing and surprising blend that combines the acidity of lemon with crunchy pieces of dark chocolate. It's a twist on the classic stracciatella, with a tangy touch perfect for summer. And with Ninja Creami, the texture will be super creamy with just the right amount of crunch in every bite!
Ingredients :
- 100 ml of liquid cream
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 2 lemons (zest and juice)
- 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust to your taste)
- 20 g of lemon zest
- 1 small pinch of salt (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepare the lemon base.
In a bowl, mix the milk, cream, agave syrup, and lemon juice. Add the lemon zest for a more intense flavor. This creamy mixture will give you a lovely tangy base, perfect for lemon lovers! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then, place it in the freezer for 24 hours . - Churn using the Ice Cream program.
After 24 hours, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" . You'll get creamy, tangy ice cream with that delicious fresh lemon flavor. - Add the chocolate chips using the Extra mode.
Once the ice cream is ready, add the chopped dark chocolate chips using the "Mix-In" . This function ensures the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream, without crushing them, for that perfect crunch in every bite. - Respin Tip:
If the ice cream is too firm after the first cycle, use the "Respin" and add approximately 30 ml of milk to soften the texture and make it even smoother.
My Personal Tip:
To make this ice cream even more decadent, you can add a little lemon zest on top for a visual effect and a flavor boost. If you want even more crunch, feel free to add some toasted hazelnut or almond pieces. And for true chocolate lovers, a drizzle of melted chocolate on top just before serving… pure bliss!
Lemon stracciatella ice cream is a refreshing dessert, perfect for those who love the contrast between tartness and sweetness. The sweetness of the milk and cream blends perfectly with the tang of the lemon, and the dark chocolate chips add that crunchy touch that makes all the difference. A dessert to enjoy again and again, especially with Ninja Creami!
