Ah, the lemon ice cream Stracciatella with small chocolate chips ... just thinking about it, I already want to immerse a spoon! If you are looking for a dessert that mixes tangy freshness and a little gourmet touch, you will love this recipe. The lemon brings this refreshing lightness, while the dark chocolate shards just add the right to crunch. And with the Ninja Creami, it's a breeze to prepare!
Ingredients :
- 100 ml of liquid cream
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 2 lemons (zest and juice)
- 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (adjusting according to your taste)
- 50 g of finely minced dark chocolate
- A small pinch of salt (optional, but it always boosts the flavors a little!)
Preparation :
- Mixing the lemon base
begins by mixing the milk, the cream, the agave syrup, the juice and the lemons zest in a bowl. It is already a pure olfactory happiness, that smell of fresh lemon, it smells so good! Little more: the zest really intensifies the flavor, so don't jump this step! - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
once your base is ready, pour it into the Ninja Creami container. Be careful not to exceed the Max Fill (yes, it's serious 😅). Then, hop, head for the freezer for 24 hours - the wait may seem long, but it's so Worth it! - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
the next day (yes, it's finally the moment!), Inserts the container in the Ninja Creami and launches the "Ice Cream" . In a few minutes, you will have an ultra-seed and super refreshing ice cream. - Add chocolate shards with extra mode
that's where the magic operates! Add the small chopped chocolate shards in the container, then uses the "mix-in" to incorporate them well. This step is crucial to obtain this famous crunch with each spoon without the chocolate melting completely. Yum! - Respin tip
If the ice is a little too firm, no problem! "Respin" option to soften the texture. And if you want to make it even more creamy, add a little bit of milk (about 30 ml).
My Personal Tip:
This ice cream is already a delight in itself, but to add an even more greedy touch, I advise you to sprinkle some fresh lemon zest on the top. If you want even more "wow" effect, a melted chocolate net just before serving ... I assure you, it's a potted paradise! And why not add a few chopped mint sheets for a fresh twist?
Here, your lemon ice cream Stracciatella is ready! This combination between the tangy freshness of lemon and crunchy chocolate is simply irresistible. In addition, with the Ninja Creami, you get this perfect creamy texture, while having these small pieces of chocolate that melt in the mouth. A treat to taste all summer (or all year round, let's be honest)!
