Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons blue spirulina powder
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs or
  • chocolate chip cookie crumbs

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, salt, and blue spirulina powder until the sugar and powder are dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, preferably overnight.
  2. Assemble the Mix It In™ Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker with paddle secured and dispenser handle in its upright position. Put the cookie crumbs into one of the topping containers for dispensing. Turn on and pour in the chilled base. Churn until the desired serving consistency is achieved, 25 to 30 minutes. If ice cream is not thick enough, pour back into the freezer bowl and continue mixing until the desired consistency is reached, checking every few minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture.
  3. Serve in cups or cones, adding cookie crumb toppings while dispensing ice cream
