Plan your Halloween tubspints
Halloween ice cream is all about color and candy. Black Sesame spins a smooth charcoal gray that looks spooky in a bowl, Pumpkin Spice tastes like a cold slice of pumpkin pie, and Dark Cherry Sorbet comes out deep, jammy red. For a dairy-free treat as dark as night, there is Chocolate Sorbet.
Leftover candy has a job too: chop peanut butter cups, chocolate bars or cookies into pea-sized pieces and fold them in with the Mix-in program, the way Peanut Butter Cup and Cookies and Cream are made. Every tubpint needs 24 hours in the freezer, so mix the bases a day or two before the party and spin them as the trick-or-treaters arrive.
Good to know
- Chop candy into pea-sized pieces and keep it to 30 to 60 g per tubpint. Freeze soft candy for 15 minutes first, so it stays in pieces.
- Skip the Re-spin before Mix-in if you can: Mix-in smooths the tubpint too, and together they can overprocess it. More in Re-spin vs Mix-in.
- Use plain canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which is already sweetened and spiced.
- Making several flavors? Label the lids. Frozen tubspints look alike, and black sesame and chocolate are easy to mix up.

How far ahead can I make Halloween ice cream?
Mix and freeze the bases up to 2 weeks ahead, as Ninja recommends, and spin them on the day. A tubpint needs at least 24 hours in the freezer.
Can I use leftover Halloween candy?
Yes. Chop it into pea-sized pieces, dig a hole down the middle of the spun tubpint, add 30 to 60 g and run Mix-in.

Dark Cherry Sorbet, Chocolate Sorbet and Cherry Cola Slushi contain no dairy.
