Description

This Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy a creamy, high-protein frozen treat without using pudding mix. Combining milk, chocolate protein powder, and coffee creamer for richness, plus sandwich cookies for texture, this homemade ice cream is both delicious and customizable. It’s perfect for those who want a protein-packed snack or dessert made effortlessly with the Ninja Creami machine.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 285 mL 2% milk or skim milk
  • 1 scoop (34g) chocolate protein powder

Mix-ins

  • 1 tablespoon coffee creamer of choice
  • 2–3 sandwich cookies

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base: Add the milk and chocolate protein powder into the Ninja Creami container. Use an electric milk frother to thoroughly blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds until well combined and smooth.
  2. Freeze the Mixture: Cover the container securely, then place it on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 24 hours to ensure it is completely solidified before processing.
  3. Prepare for Processing: When ready, remove the frozen container from the freezer and run it under hot water for 20-30 seconds, focusing on the sides and bottom to help loosen the ice cream for easier spinning.
  4. Load the Ninja Creami: Remove the lid from the frozen pint and insert the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine according to the manufacturer’s setup instructions.
  5. First Spin: Turn on the Ninja Creami and select the ‘regular ice cream’ setting for the initial spin. This starts transforming the frozen mixture into ice cream.
  6. Add Creamer and Re-Spin: After the first spin, add the tablespoon of coffee creamer into the ice cream base. Re-spin as many times as needed until you reach your desired creamy texture.
  7. Add Mix-Ins: Once the texture is perfect, add the sandwich cookies (or any other preferred mix-ins). Choose the ‘mix-in’ setting for the final spin to evenly distribute the chunks throughout the ice cream.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pint from the machine and serve the freshly made protein-packed ice cream immediately for a delicious frozen treat.

Notes

  • Use skim milk for a lighter, lower-fat version or 2% milk for creamier texture.
  • You can substitute chocolate protein powder with your favorite flavor to customize the taste.
  • Any coffee creamer flavor can be used to enhance creaminess and flavor complexity.
  • Mix-ins can be varied—try nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit pieces as alternatives.
  • Ensure the mixture is fully frozen for the best consistency—it requires at least 24 hours in the freezer.
  • Running the container under hot water before processing helps prevent the machine from jamming.
