Ninja Creami Tiramisu Ice Cream

Recipe by Leah Robinson

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1 cup whole milk 🥛
3/4 cup granulated sugar 🧂
4 large egg yolks 🥚
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese 🧀
1/2 cup brewed espresso ☕
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional) 🍸
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
2 tablespoons cocoa powder 🍫
Ladyfinger cookies, broken into pieces 🍪
Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish) 🍫

Directions

Prepare the custard base:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until pale and creamy.
Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
Incorporate the mascarpone:
Remove the custard from the heat and whisk in the mascarpone cheese until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the brewed espresso, coffee liqueur (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Chill the custard:
Pour the custard into a bowl and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Prepare the Ninja Creami container:
Pour the chilled custard into the Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze for 24 hours.
Process the ice cream:
After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine.
Select the “Ice Cream” function and process until smooth and creamy.
Add the mix-ins:
Once the ice cream cycle is complete, create a well in the center of the ice cream and add the broken ladyfinger cookies.
Process again using the “Mix-In” function until the cookies are evenly distributed.
Finish with cocoa powder and chocolate:
Remove the ice cream from the Ninja Creami and transfer it to a serving container.
Sprinkle the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.

Tips for the Perfect Tiramisu Ice Cream

Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality mascarpone cheese and espresso for the best flavor.
Chill Thoroughly: Make sure the custard is well chilled before freezing in the Ninja Creami. This helps achieve a smoother texture.
Liqueur Optional: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can skip the coffee liqueur. The ice cream will still be deliciously rich.
Serving Suggestion: Serve your tiramisu ice cream with an extra sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added decadence.

Fun Variations to Try

Chocolate Swirl: Add a chocolate fudge swirl to your ice cream for an extra chocolaty kick.
Mocha Delight: Mix in some crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans for a crunchy texture and added coffee flavor.
Nutty Twist: Fold in some toasted almond slivers or hazelnuts for a delightful crunch.

Storage and Serving

Storage: Store your Ninja Creami Tiramisu Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks.
Serving: For the best texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to scoop and enhances the flavor.

Making your own tiramisu ice cream at home with the Ninja Creami is a delightful way to indulge in a luxurious dessert. The combination of creamy mascarpone, rich espresso, and crunchy ladyfingers creates a truly special treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
