03 - Cover the container and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until completely solid throughout.
04 - Process the frozen base in the Ninja Creami using the Ice Cream setting until smooth and creamy.
05 - Create a well in the center of the processed ice cream and add the marshmallow fluff, caramel sauce, and chocolate fish or pieces.
06 - Reinsert the pint and run the Mix-In setting to swirl the toppings throughout the ice cream. Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
