Prepare the base

  1. Gently rinse the mint leaves and pat them completely dry.

  2. Add the oat milk and mint leaves to a small saucepan. Warm over low heat until steaming but not boiling, then remove from the heat, cover and infuse for 20 minutes.

  3. Blend the mint and oat milk for 20 seconds, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing the leaves firmly to recover as much liquid as possible. Let the infused milk cool completely.

  4. Add the cooled mint-infused oat milk, dairy-free whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract and salt to a bowl. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the base is smooth.

Freeze and spin

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.

  2. Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.

  3. Once fully frozen, run the ICE CREAM program.

  4. If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

Prepare the mix-ins

  1. Finely chop the dark chocolate into small, irregular pieces.

  2. Make a small hole in the center, add the chopped chocolate, then use the MIX-IN program.

Serve

Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.

Storing leftovers

Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.

Tips

  • Fresh mint produces a softer herbal flavor and a naturally pale green-beige color, not the vivid green associated with commercially colored mint ice cream.
  • Finely chopped chocolate is easier to eat straight from the freezer than large chips.
