Directions

Makes: 16oz · Servings: 4

Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Pro Tip

Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth. Any chunks will become icy spots.

Pour into Ninja Creami pint container.

Pro Tip

Fill to the max fill line but not above — overfilling can cause the lid to pop off during processing.

Freeze for 24 hours.

Pro Tip

Place on a flat, level surface in the coldest part of your freezer. Uneven freezing leads to inconsistent texture.

Process using the Ice Cream function.

Pro Tip

If the machine struggles or the pint spins freely, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before retrying.

Common Questions

How long does Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream last in the freezer?

Once processed in the Ninja Creami, Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream is best enjoyed immediately for the creamiest texture. You can refreeze it for up to 2 weeks — just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before re-processing with the Re-Spin function.

Which Ninja Creami models can make Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream?

This recipe works with all Ninja CREAMi models — the 7-in-1 (NC301), Deluxe, XL Deluxe 11-in-1 (NC501), and Scoop & Swirl (NC701). It also works with discontinued models like the Breeze (NC100) and original 5-in-1 (NC300). The ingredients are sized for a standard 16oz pint. If you have a 24oz Deluxe or XL Deluxe model, use our built-in ingredient scaler to adjust the quantities up.

Is Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream suitable for special diets?

Yes, this recipe is: Vegan, Dairy-Free. Always check individual ingredient labels to confirm they meet your specific dietary requirements.

What if my ice cream comes out crumbly?

This is normal after the first spin. Select the Re-Spin function for a smoother, creamier result. If it's still crumbly after two re-spins, let the pint sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then try again.

Should I warm the nut butter before adding it?

For mix-ins and swirls, yes — microwave the nut butter for 10-15 seconds so it's drizzleable. This creates beautiful swirl ribbons. For the base, blend it cold with the other ingredients until completely smooth.

Do I need full-fat coconut milk?

Yes — full-fat coconut milk (17-22% fat) is essential for a creamy result. Lite coconut milk (5-7% fat) has too much water and will produce an icy, hard texture. Look for canned coconut milk (not the carton kind meant for drinking, which is only 2-4% fat). Shake the can vigorously before opening to combine the separated cream and water layers. Brands like Thai Kitchen and Aroy-D are popular choices.
