Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup light cream
- 1/2 cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder and your chosen sweetener, whisking together until well blended to prevent any clumping.
- Gradually pour in the almond milk and light cream, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the base.
- Pour the entire mixture into a Ninja Creami-compatible container, ensuring you do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Place the container in the freezer for 24 hours, making sure it is positioned level and flat to ensure even freezing.
- Remove the frozen container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine.
- Select the "Lite Ice Cream" setting on the Ninja Creami and process according to machine instructions.
- If the first processing results in a powdery texture, use the "Re-spin" function to achieve a smoother, creamier consistency.
- Once desired texture is achieved, transfer the ice cream to a storage container and enjoy immediately or store in the freezer.
Tips
- Choose Your Sweetener Wisely: Experiment with different sweeteners to find the perfect balance for your taste. Stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit are great low-calorie options that work well in this recipe.
- Ensure Smooth Mixing: When combining the protein powder and sweetener, whisk thoroughly to avoid clumps. A smooth base will result in a creamier texture once frozen.
- Chill Properly: For best results, make sure your mixture is well-blended before pouring it into the Ninja Creami container. A level position in the freezer is crucial for even freezing.
- Use the Right Setting: Don’t forget to select the "Lite Ice Cream" setting on your Ninja Creami for optimal results. If the texture isn’t quite right after the first spin, don’t hesitate to use the "Re-spin" function to achieve that perfect creaminess.
- Storage Tips: If you’re not enjoying your ice cream immediately, transfer it to an airtight container before placing it back in the freezer to maintain its texture and flavor.
