How to Make Ninja Creami Strawberry Protein Ice Cream
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Mix the Base
Combine the vanilla protein powder, milk, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, and sweetener in the container. Blend with a handheld milk frother to ensure a smooth, lump-free base.
Add the Strawberries
Let the frozen strawberries soak in the base for a few minutes, then stir gently to distribute them evenly.
Freeze the Base
Cover the container and freeze the mixture for 24 hours.
Process in the Ninja Creami
After freezing, process the base in the Ninja Creami on the Lite Ice Cream setting. Add a splash of milk if needed to adjust the texture, then use the Respin setting for a creamier consistency.
Serve and Enjoy
Scoop the ice cream into bowls and enjoy your creamy, fruity dessert!
Tips
- Use a Handheld Milk Frother. This ensures the base is smooth and lump-free for the creamiest result.
- Macerate the Strawberries: Let the frozen strawberries soak in the base for a few minutes before stirring. This helps release their natural sweetness and softens their texture, enhancing the flavour of the ice cream.
- Let It Soften: Take the ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes before processing for the best consistency. If the base is too hard, rinse the container under hot water for a minute or 2.
- Freeze Without the Lid: To prevent a hump in the frozen base, freeze it uncovered first, then add the lid once the surface is flat.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Switch the Milk: Use almond milk or another dairy-free option for a plant-based variation.
- Swap the Protein Powder: Try using Strawberry flavour to enhance the strawberry flavour.
- Try a Different Pudding Mix: Use white chocolate pudding mix as another option.
- Top with Fresh Strawberries: Add sliced fresh strawberries for an extra burst of flavour and texture.
Storage
Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami container in the freezer. Reprocess in the Ninja Creami to restore its creamy texture before serving.
