02 - 1 cup heavy cream
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

03 - Pour mixture into Ninja Creami pint container. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and freeze for 8 hours or overnight until solid.
04 - Process frozen base in Ninja Creami using the Ice Cream setting until smooth and creamy.
05 - Create a well in center of ice cream. Add marshmallow fluff, caramel sauce, and chocolate fish or pieces into the depression.

07 - Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze 1-2 hours for firmer scoops.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The chocolate base comes out impossibly creamy, like gelato but with that deep cocoa intensity that makes you close your eyes
  • You control the swirl distribution which means no disappointing bites without marshmallow or caramel
  • Mixing in the add-ins yourself creates those gorgeous ribboned layers throughout every scoop
02 -
  • The base must be completely frozen solid before processing, or the machine cannot break it down properly
  • Room temperature mix-ins incorporate better than cold ones, which seize up and break apart
  • Over-mixing on the Mix-In cycle will turn your beautiful swirls into uniform muddy color
03 -
  • Process the mix-ins quickly, as the ice cream starts melting the moment it leaves the freezer
  • Label your pint with the date, because freezer burn ruins even the best homemade ice cream
  • Keep your Ninja Creami container in the freezer between batches so it is always ready to go
