- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: None
- Total Time: 24 hours 5 minutes (includes freezing)
- Yield: 1 Pint 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: Japanese-Inspired
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp ceremonial matcha powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla Jello instant pudding mix
- 1 tbsp Silk vanilla coffee creamer
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine & Blend: Add all ingredients directly into your Ninja Creami pint container. Use a handheld frother to blend everything for about 30 seconds until it’s completely smooth and there are no clumps.
- Freeze: Screw the lid on tightly and place the pint on a perfectly flat surface in your freezer. Let it freeze for a full 24 hours until it’s a solid block.
- First Spin: Once frozen, place the pint into the outer bowl, attach the blade lid, and lock it into your Ninja Creami. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting and let it run.
- Re-Spin for Creaminess: After the first spin, the mixture will likely look dry and crumbly—this is normal! Put it back in the machine and press the “Re-Spin” button. This second cycle will transform it into a perfectly smooth and creamy ice cream.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into a bowl and enjoy immediately! If you’re adding mix-ins, create a small hole in the center, add your goodies, and run the “Mix-In” cycle.
Notes
Tips & Tricks:
- Don’t Skip the Pudding Mix! It sounds strange, but it’s the secret weapon that prevents ice crystals and makes the texture incredibly creamy.
- Use Ceremonial Grade Matcha: It truly makes a difference in getting that vibrant color and smooth, non-bitter flavor.
- Freeze on a Level Surface: This is important! A tilted frozen base can potentially damage the Creami’s blade.
Serving Suggestions:
- For a simple, elegant touch, dust the top with a little extra matcha powder.
- This pairs beautifully with white chocolate chips, fresh raspberries, or a drizzle of condensed milk.
Storage Instructions:
- To store leftovers, smooth the top of the ice cream in the pint, cover with the lid, and return to the freezer.
- When you’re ready to eat it again, the ice cream will be very hard. Just pop it back in the Ninja Creami and run one “Re-Spin” cycle to restore its perfectly creamy, fresh-spun texture.
