ice cream with chocolate chips is a refreshing and delicious 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 creamy texture, enhanced by crunchy chocolate chips that gently melt in your mouth.
Ingredients :
- 300 ml fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges)
- 100 ml of whole 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 vanilla extract (optional, for a fragrant touch)
- The zest of one orange (to intensify the flavor)
- 50g dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces (added with Extra mode to keep it crunchy)
Preparation :
- Prepare the orange base
. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, single cream, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and orange zest. The scent of orange is already very inviting and will pair wonderfully with the chocolate. Adjust the agave syrup to your taste; sometimes oranges are naturally quite sweet. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, making sure 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! - 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 creamy ice cream with a vibrant orange flavor, ready to welcome the chocolate chips. - Add chocolate chips with the Extra mode.
For a crunchy contrast, add the chocolate pieces using the Mix-In . They will stay well dispersed in the ice cream, creating small chocolate explosions in each spoonful. - Respin Tip
If the texture is a little too firm, use the Respin to soften the consistency. Add a squeeze of orange juice or a little cream if necessary for an even softer texture.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more indulgent treat, try adding some candied orange zest or a drizzle of orange syrup to the ice cream before serving. Dark chocolate pairs wonderfully with orange, and this extra touch adds a sophisticated touch to the dessert. You can also sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top for an extra visual and flavorful effect.
