First time I made this Dark Chocolate Gelato in the Ninja Creami, my daughter asked if it was "the fancy chocolate or the kid chocolate." It's the fancy one, deep and almost bittersweet from the cocoa, the kind that tastes like a good brownie batter. She ate it anyway and asked for more, so the line held. Whisk the cocoa into the warm milk before you freeze the pint or you'll get little dry pockets that never blend in. It spins up dense and scoopable, not icy, which is the whole point.
