If you're a fan of crunchy and creamy textures, this yogurt ice cream with speculoos chips is for you! The yogurt adds that lightness I love in frozen desserts, while the speculoos pieces add a crunchy and spicy touch that's simply irresistible. With the Ninja Creami, you'll get the perfect texture, and the speculoos chips will stay nice and crunchy thanks to the Mix-In function. Let's go!
Ingredients :
- 200g plain Greek yogurt (for a creamy texture)
- 100 ml of whole milk
- 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust according to your taste)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (optional)
- 3 speculoos biscuits (broken into small pieces)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it brings out the flavors of the speculoos)
Preparation :
- Mix the yogurt base.
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, whole milk, agave syrup, and vanilla extract well. I love the simplicity of this base; it's light, yet ultra-creamy thanks to the Greek yogurt. Whisk well so everything is evenly combined. Just by doing this, you'll smell that sweet vanilla scent mixed with the yogurt; it's already whet your appetite. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container
Once the base is ready, pour it into the Ninja Creami container, but be careful not to exceed the MAX FILL (we're starting to get to know that one well 😉). Place the container in the freezer for 24 hours . Yes, I know, it's a long time, but it will be well worth the wait! - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
The next day, once everything is frozen, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you will have a super creamy and light yogurt ice cream, but wait, the best is yet to come! - Add the speculoos chips with the Extra mode
Here's the gourmet touch: the speculoos! Break them into small pieces (not too fine so there's some crunch) and add them to the ice cream using the "Mix-In" . This step is crucial to get these cookie chips evenly distributed, without them ending up crushed. Every spoonful will be a surprise with this creamy and crunchy mixture! - Respin Tip
If the texture seems a little too firm after the first cycle, don't worry. Use the "Respin" to make your ice cream even creamier. If necessary, add a little milk (about 30 ml) to adjust the texture.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more indulgent treat, I recommend adding a drizzle of caramel on top before serving. It pairs perfectly with the spicy flavor of the speculoos and adds a little extra sweetness. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not add some dark chocolate chips or caramelized apple pieces for an even more comforting version?
There you have it, your yogurt ice cream with speculoos chips is ready! This blend of the freshness of yogurt and the spicy crunch of speculoos is simply perfect for a dessert that doesn't make you feel too guilty while still being ultra-indulgent. With Ninja Creami, the texture is impeccable, and you'll have cookie chips in every bite. A must-try!
