How To Make Ninja Creami Chocolate Protein Ice Cream

To make Chocolate Protein Ice Cream, follow these simple steps:

Make Ice Cream Base: Add Fairlife Chocolate Milk, sugar-free chocolate pudding mix, protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in an empty Ninja Creami Container, be careful not to overfill, fill only to max fill line. Mix well with a milk frother or large spoon. Cover the ice cream base with a Ninja Creami lid, place the container flat surface in the freezer, and freeze for 24 hours. (The lid will prevent freezer burn)

Process Chocolate Protein Ice Cream: Remove pint from the freezer, and remove the lid. Place pint container into the Ninja Creami Machine, following the instructions for your machine. Press the Ice Cream Button. Allow the Ninja Creami to process before removing the pint container from the machine.

Add Mix Ins: Remove and mix well. If you would like a creamier ice cream, use a large spoon and make a small hole in the center of the ice cream. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of almond or chocolate milk. Place the Ninja Creami Pint Container back into the machine and press the Re spin Button.

Serving: Remove the pint container from the machine and serve.

Pro Tips

• Use Cold Ingredients: Chill chocolate and almond milk for a creamier texture.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your preference. You can use xanthan gum or guar gum.
• Add Mix-Ins Carefully: If adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, fold them gently after churning to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
• Monitor Churning Time: Monitor the ice cream during processing to prevent overmixing, which can result in a grainy texture.
• Experiment with Flavors: Get creative with flavor variations by adding extracts like peppermint or almond or swapping cocoa powder for other flavors like matcha or peanut butter powder.

Faq’s

Is chocolate protein ice cream healthy? High protein ice cream can be a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream, especially with wholesome ingredients like almond milk and protein powder. It’s lower in sugar and higher in protein, making it a more nutritious option. For best results use the same protein powder, you would use for your favorite chocolate protein shake.

Can I use any protein powder? Yes, you can use your preferred brand and type of chocolate protein powder in this recipe. Whey, casein, plant-based, or collagen protein powders all work well.

Can I make this recipe without an ice cream maker? This recipe is for a Ninja Creami Machine, but while an ice cream maker like the Ninja Creami makes the process easier, you can still make chocolate protein ice cream without one. Blend the ingredients, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, and stir it every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

How can I enhance the chocolate flavor? To intensify the flavor, add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate to the mixture.

Can I make this recipe vegan? Yes, you can easily do so by using plant-based protein powder and swapping the honey or sweetener for a vegan-friendly option like maple syrup or agave nectar.

How long does chocolate protein ice cream last in the freezer? Chocolate protein ice cream will stay in the freezer for 2-3 months if stored in an airtight container. Just let it thaw for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
