ice cream with chocolate chips is a refreshing and indulgent combination! The sweet acidity of the orange blends perfectly with the richness of the chocolate for an ice cream that combines freshness and intensity. With Ninja Creami, you get a smooth texture, enhanced by crunchy chocolate chips that melt gently in your mouth.
Ingredients :
- 300 ml of fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges)
- 100 ml of full-fat liquid cream (for a creamy texture)
- 2 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust according to your taste and the sweetness of the orange)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for a touch of fragrance)
- The zest of one orange (to intensify the flavor)
- 50g of dark chocolate chopped into small pieces (added using the Extra mode to maintain the crunch)
Preparation :
- Prepare the orange base.
In a bowl, combine the orange juice, heavy cream, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest. The aroma of orange is already very inviting and will pair wonderfully with the chocolate. Adjust the agave syrup to your liking; sometimes oranges are naturally quite sweet. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the 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 time, but it guarantees a perfect texture! - Churn 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'll have smooth ice cream with a vibrant orange flavor, ready for chocolate chips. - Add the chocolate chips using the Extra mode.
For a crunchy contrast, add the chocolate pieces using the Mix-In . They will remain well dispersed in the ice cream, creating little bursts of chocolate in every scoop. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is a little too firm, use the Respin to soften the consistency. Add a splash of orange juice or a little cream if needed for an even smoother texture.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more indulgent touch, try adding some candied orange zest or a drizzle of orange syrup to the ice cream when serving. Dark chocolate pairs wonderfully with orange, and this extra touch gives the dessert a sophisticated feel. You can also dust it with a little cocoa powder for an additional visual and flavorful effect.
