If you ask me, raspberries and chocolate were meant to be together.
The sweet and tart flavor of the berries pairs perfectly with rich chocolate chunks, making a delicious dessert that’s just so satisfying.
It’s one of those treats that feels a little special, yet it’s made with regular everyday ingredients.
So I set out to create a Ninja Creami raspberry chocolate chip ice cream that both simple and delicious.
The resulting lovely pink dessert would make a great treat for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any time of the year!
Ninja Creami Raspberry Chocolate Ice Cream
To keep things simple, I opted for using frozen raspberries.
They’re easy for me to find year-round, and I can keep them on hand until I need them.
But if you’d rather use fresh raspberries, that’s fine, too!
I used both Magic Shell and chocolate chips to bring the signature decadence to the dessert, but the Magic Shell isn’t completely necessary.
You can skip the Magic Shell if you don’t have any on hand. I especially like it drizzled over the top, though!

How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami
It’s easier than you think to create this classic treat!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Frozen raspberries
- Instant vanilla pudding mix
- Milk
- Heavy cream
- Granulated sugar (optional)
- Magic Shell (optional)
- Chocolate chips
How to Make it:
(Full printable recipe card is available below)
Thaw the berries. To start, allow the frozen berries to thaw out.
You can let them thaw at room temperature, or microwave them briefly. .
Combine ingredients. In a small mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the berries, milk, and instant pudding mix.
Use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients together.
Add the cream. Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Give the mixture a taste to check the sweetness.
If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or other sweetener of choice. This will really just depend on how sweet your raspberries are and what your preference is.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and secure the lid.
Freeze. Transfer the pint container to a level surface in your freezer. Allow to freeze for at least 24 hours.
Spin. Remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the pint into the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl and secure the lid.
Place bowl apparatus into the machine, locking it into place.
Press the Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.
Re-spin if needed. Check the ice cream’s consistency. If the texture looks crumbly, insert it back into the machine and press the Re-spin button.
If it’s still crumbly after that, add a tablespoon of milk and Re-spin once more.
Mix-in the chocolate. To add a mix-in with the Ninja Creami, create a well in the ice cream that’s about an inch wide and extends to the bottom of the pint.
If you’re using Magic Shell, pour a tablespoon of it down into the bottom of the well.
Then add the chocolate chips on top of that.
Place the pint back into the machine and press the Mix-in button.
Remove from the machine and serve, garnishing with more Magic Shell if you’d like!
Notes and Adaptations:
- The Magic Shell is optional for this recipe. It breaks down into pretty small pieces within the ice cream itself, but it does add a bit of sweetness. You can always just add extra chocolate chips when mixing-in if you prefer.
- I used instant vanilla pudding mix, but you could also use white chocolate pudding mix or cheesecake pudding mix instead. If you don’t want to use pudding mix, you could blend in a tablespoon of cream cheese, but you’ll likely need to add more sweetener as well.
- Feel free to use white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or whatever type of chocolate chip you prefer.
- Whether or not you need to add sugar will depend primarily on the sweetness of your raspberries and your personal preference. Keep in mind that the mixture will be slightly less sweet after it’s frozen.
