Description
This Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Ice Cream is a creamy, chocolatey, high-protein dessert that tastes like a peanut butter cup in frozen form. It is an easy recipe for a healthy snack, quick dessert, post-workout treat, or sweet food idea when you want something cold, rich, and satisfying without making traditional ice cream.
Ingredients
1 cup Fairlife chocolate milk or milk of choice
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter powder
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup or zero-calorie sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup or melted chocolate for topping
1 tablespoon crushed peanuts for topping
Instructions
1. Add the milk, protein powder, peanut butter powder, peanut butter, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth with no clumps.
3. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, keeping it below the max fill line.
4. Place the lid on the pint and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
5. Remove the pint from the freezer, place it into the Ninja Creami outer bowl, and spin on Lite Ice Cream.
6. If the texture looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and use the Re-Spin setting.
7. Make a small well in the center, add the mini chocolate chips, and use the Mix-In setting.
8. Scoop into bowls and top with chocolate syrup and crushed peanuts.
Notes
Do not skip freezing the pint on a level surface for a full 24 hours. If the base is uneven or not fully frozen, the Ninja Creami may spin poorly and create an icy or crumbly texture instead of a smooth protein ice cream.
