Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why use cream cheese in ice cream?
- Cream cheese adds richness and helps create a smoother texture. It also prevents ice crystals from forming, resulting in creamier ice cream.
- → Can I skip the food coloring?
- Yes, the green food coloring is purely optional and doesn't affect the taste. It just gives the traditional mint ice cream look.
- → Why create a hole for mix-ins?
- Creating a hole helps distribute the chocolate chips more evenly throughout the ice cream during the mix-in cycle.
- → Can I use different chocolate chips?
- Mini chocolate chips work best as they distribute more evenly, but you can use regular chips chopped into smaller pieces.
- → How long will this ice cream keep?
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let soften slightly before serving or re-process in the Ninja Creami.
