Equipment
- Ninja Creami
- Handheld Milk Frother
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge Pudding Mix
- 1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- 350 ml Semi-Skimmed Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- Sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a Ninja Creami container, combine the sugar-free chocolate fudge pudding mix, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Use a handheld milk frother to blend everything together smoothly. This ensures the protein powder and other ingredients are fully mixed without any clumps. Add sweetener if desired.
- Place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours until fully frozen.
Spin in the Ninja Creami:
- Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and insert it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the Lite Ice Cream setting and let it process.
- The ice cream may look powdery at first—this is normal.
Respin:
- If the ice cream appears too powdery after the first spin, scoop a small hole in the center and add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to the pint and select the "Respin" setting. This will create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Customizations:
- Swap for a Protein Shake: If you want to simplify the recipe, swap the chocolate protein powder and milk for a chocolate protein shake. This makes the prep even quicker while maintaining the same high protein content.
- Mix-Ins: After the final spin, add in mix-ins like crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of sugar-free syrup for extra texture and flavour.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a plant-based milk and protein powder to make this ice cream dairy-free while still packing in the protein.
Leftover Tip:
If you don’t finish the ice cream, reseal the container and return it to the freezer. When you’re ready to eat it again, simply select the Respin setting on your Ninja Creami to restore it to a creamy texture.Nutrition
