This lite chocolate cookie ice cream has an amazing chocolate flavor with a satisfying cookie crumble crunch. Thanks to the Mix-In feature on the CREAMi unit, the cookies don’t have the opportunity to become soft just yet—so you’re able to enjoy the crunchy cookies inside the sweet ice cream. —Myles Bryan

Variation: Use reduced-fat chocolate sandwich cookies in place of the sugar cookies to create a lite Cookies and Cream flavor.

Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep

  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia sweetener
  • 3 tablespoons raw agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup crushed reduced fat sugar cookies

Utensils

  • Microwave-Safe Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Step 1

    Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds, then whisk in the cocoa powder, stevia, agave, and vanilla. Microwave for another 60 seconds, until the mixture looks like frosting. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk until the mixture is fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.

  • Step 2

    Pour the base into a clean CREAMi™ Pint. Place the storage lid on the container and freeze for 24 hours.

  • Step 3

    Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint in the outer bowl of your Ninja® CREAMi™, install the Creamerizer™ Paddle in the outer bowl lid, and lock the lid assembly onto the outer bowl. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, and twist the handle to the right to raise the platform and lock it in place. Select the Lite Ice Cream function.

  • Step 4

    Once the machine has finished processing, remove the lid. With a spoon, create a 1 ½-inch-wide (3.75cm) hole that reaches the bottom of the pint. During this process, it is okay if your treat reaches above the Max Fill line. Add the crushed cookies to the hole in the pint. Replace the pint lid and select the Mix-In function.

  • Step 5

    Once the machine has finished processing, remove the ice cream from the pint. Serve immediately.
