Ingredients
Scale
- 326 g Chocolate Protein Shake (like Fairlife)
- 2 tbsp Sugar-Free Instant Chocolate Fudge Pudding Mix
- 1 tsp Dark Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder
- 3 Zero Sugar Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- 1–2 tbsp Chocolate Almond Milk (for re-spin)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: Pour the chocolate protein shake into a blender. Add the pudding mix, cocoa powder, and peanut butter powder. Blend until completely smooth.
- Freeze: Pour the liquid base into a Ninja Creami pint. Place it in the freezer without the lid for at least 24 hours, until it’s a solid block.
- Process: Take the frozen pint out and place it in the outer bowl of your Ninja Creami. Lock it in and press the “LITE ICE CREAM” button. The result will likely be a crumbly powder.
- Re-spin: Add 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate almond milk to the pint. Put it back in the machine and hit the “RESPIN” button. This will transform the texture into a smooth, creamy ice cream.
- Add Mix-ins: Use a spoon to dig a well in the center of the ice cream. Drop in the chopped peanut butter cups. Place the pint back in the machine and press the “MIX-IN” button to fold in the candy.
- Serve: Grab a spoon and enjoy your delicious, creamy creation straight from the pint!
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: This ice cream is best right out of the machine. For a fancier touch, scoop it into a bowl and top with a little extra chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of flaky salt.
- Tips & Tricks: The instant pudding mix is your secret weapon for a truly creamy texture. Don’t skip it! For the best results, make sure your freezer is set between 9 and -7°F.
- Storage & Reheating: Store any leftovers in the freezer with the lid on. If it freezes solid again, just give it a quick re-spin in the Ninja Creami with no added liquid to bring it back to that perfect, creamy consistency.
