While it might seem too good to be true, this indulgent-tasting Hidden Veg Chocolate Ice Cream really is made with blended cauliflower! Take our ingredients for a spin in your Ninja Creami and you’ll soon see, you can use vegetables to make a deliciously decadent frozen dessert.
Starting with a silky-smooth base of cauliflower florets, we also added reduced-fat ingredients like semi-skimmed milk and light double cream alternative to get the creamy texture just right. We’ve also stirred in cocoa powder to ramp up the chocolate goodness without spoiling the fun!
At just 144 calories per serving, it’s the ultimate slimming-friendly, after-dinner treat. Why not try your bowl with a few different sweet toppings? A low-calorie syrup, chocolate chips or fruits would work a treat.

Step 1
Add the cauliflower to a saucepan and pour over enough boiling water to come up halfway over the florets. Cover with a lid and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes. The cauliflower should be just soft. Drain well and leave to cool.
Step 2
Add the cauliflower to a food processor along with the cream alternative. Blitz until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the cauliflower mixture into a bowl and add the milk, sugar, sweetener and vanilla and whisk with a balloon whisk until the sugar and sweetener have dissolved. Add the cocoa powder and whisk again until creamy and combined.
Step 4
Pour into your Ninja Creami tub. Pop the lid on and freeze for 24 hours.
Step 5
Remove the tub from the freezer and use the light ice cream function on your Ninja Creami machine. If your ice cream looks chalky or not a nice creamy consistency, use the re-spin function. We used the light ice cream function once and re-spin once. Serve.

Your ice cream mixture will need to be frozen for at least 4 hours before it’s ready to be served.
Remember to remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
Can I freeze Ninja Creami Hidden Veg Chocolate Ice Cream?
You can make a big batch of this Ninja Creami Hidden Veg Chocolate Ice Cream and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Ninja recommends flattening the mix before refreezing.
Just remember to store it in a freezer-safe container with a lid. Label it with what’s inside and the date you first froze the ice cream.
If your ice cream is still soft, there’s no need to re-spin the mix. If your ice cream is a little solid, you may want to re-spin it.
