DIRECTIONS¶
- Add "wet" ingredients to empty Creami tub.
- Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
- Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
- Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
- Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
- Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
- Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
- As a mix-in, microwave the dark chocolate with the oil for 15 seconds at 600W, stir with a chopstick or a fork, heat for another 15 secs, stir again.
- Pour over the already processed and flattened ice cream, quickly close the lid, and start a mix-in cycle as fast as possible.
- OR Add ready-to-use dark chocolate shavings, and run the mix-in cycle.
- Firm up in the freezer for at least an hour.
