How to Make Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Mix the Base
Combine the vanilla protein powder, milk, sugar-free pudding mix, salt, sweetener, and smooth peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Blend with a handheld milk frother to ensure a smooth, lump-free base.
Freeze the Base
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, cover, and freeze for 24 hours.
Process
After freezing, process the base in the Ninja Creami on the Lite Ice Cream setting. If it’s crumbly after the first spin, add 1–2 tbsp of milk and spin again.
Serve and Enjoy
Scoop the creamy, flavourful ice cream into bowls and enjoy immediately!
Tips
- Use a Handheld Milk Frother. This ensures the base is smooth and lump-free for the creamiest result.
- Let It Soften: Take the ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes before processing for the best consistency. If the base is too hard, rinse the container under hot water for a few seconds.
- Freeze Without the Lid: To prevent a hump in the frozen base, freeze it uncovered first, then add the lid once the surface is flat.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Switch the Milk: Use almond milk or another dairy-free option for a plant-based variation.
- Use High Protein Peanut Butter: Increase your protein intake by using a high protein variation.
- Swap the Protein Powder: Try adding peanut butter protein powder instead.
- Change the Mix-Ins: Replace Lotus biscuits with crushed graham crackers or chopped pecans for a new texture.
Storage
Store any leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami container and refreeze. Before serving again, use the Lite Ice Cream to restore the creamy texture.
