Ninja Creami Oreo Protein Ice Cream Recipe Faqs
Can I use regular milk instead of Fairlife Skim Milk? Yes, you can use any milk you prefer. However, Fairlife Skim Milk is recommended for its higher protein content, which helps enhance the creaminess of the ice cream.
How long should I freeze the ice cream mixture? Freeze the mixture for at least 24 hours to ensure it achieves the right texture when processed in the Ninja Creami.
Can I use whole Oreo cookies instead of Oreo Thins? Yes, you can use whole Oreo cookies, but they may create a chunkier texture.
What if my ice cream is too soft after processing? If your ice cream is too soft, simply return it to the freezer for a bit longer to firm up, or chill the Ninja Creami bowl before processing.
Can I customize the protein powder flavor? Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different flavored protein powders, such as vanilla or chocolate, to create a unique ice cream flavor.
What optional toppings can I add? Great optional toppings include crushed Oreo pieces, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Is this ice cream suitable for meal prep? Yes, you can prepare the ice cream in advance and store it in the freezer. Just be sure to let it soften slightly at room temperature before serving if it hardens too much.
Can I use dairy-free alternatives? Yes! You can substitute Fairlife Skim Milk with any dairy-free milk and use dairy-free protein powder to create a vegan-friendly version.
How long will the ice cream last in the freezer? The ice cream will stay fresh for up to two weeks in the freezer, although it’s best enjoyed sooner for optimal texture and flavor.
Can I make a larger batch? Yes, you can double or triple the recipe, but make sure your Ninja Creami bowl can accommodate the increased volume and freeze accordingly.
