Milo Ice Cream

Directions

1. 1Whisk the milk, cream, condensed milk and Milo together in a jug until the Milo is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
2. 2Pour the mixture into a single Ninja Creami pint container, filling no higher than the max line, and freeze completely flat for at least 24 hours.
3. 3Process the frozen pint on the Ice Cream setting. If it comes out crumbly, add a splash of milk and run the Re-spin program until creamy.

Tips

• Freeze the pint on a completely flat surface so the base sets evenly. An uneven freeze can lead to a lopsided spin and patchy texture.
• After the first spin, if the ice cream looks crumbly or powdery, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the pint and re-spin. This fixes the texture almost every time.
• The cream and condensed milk are what make it scoopable, so keep those full-fat. The milk is just there to fill the pint and help it spin smooth.
• Let the frozen pint sit on the counter for about 5 minutes before inserting it into the Creami, especially in cold weather. This helps the machine process it more smoothly.

Variations

• Swap half the Milo for Ovaltine or a chocolate malt powder to get a slightly different malt flavour with the same creamy base.
• Stir a handful of Milo Nuggets or crushed Milo cereal into the pint after the first spin using the Mix-In program for a crunchy texture throughout.
• Replace the condensed milk with sweetened coconut condensed milk for a subtle coconut flavour that pairs really well with the Milo.

FAQ

Can I use lite or reduced-fat cream instead of thickened cream?

You can, but the ice cream will likely come out icier and less creamy after spinning. Full-fat cream gives the best texture in the Ninja Creami.

How long does the ice cream keep in the freezer?

Store the pint with the lid on for up to two weeks. Before eating again, let it sit out for a few minutes and re-spin it to bring back the creamy texture.

Why did my ice cream come out powdery or crumbly after spinning?

This usually means the base was frozen too hard or the fat content was a bit low. Add a small splash of milk or cream to the pint and run the re-spin function to fix it.

Can I reduce the amount of Milo to make it less sweet?

Yes, just cut back the Milo powder by a tablespoon or two. The condensed milk already brings plenty of sweetness, so the ice cream will still taste great.
