Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ scoop Quest Peanut Butter Protein Powder (15 grams)
- 1 tablespoon PBFit Pure Peanut
- 3 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners
- ¼ scant teaspoon guar gum
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
- ½ ounce Lily’s Milk Chocolate Style Baking Chips
- 2 Quest Peanut Butter Cups (OPTIONAL: can be used instead of milk chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Blend ingredients: Combine the almond milk, protein powder, PBFit pure peanut powder, Swerve confectioners sweetener, guar gum, and salt in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth in consistency.
- Freeze: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze solid for at least 24 hours to ensure proper texture.
- Turn to ice cream in the Ninja Creami: Remove the lid from the frozen pint and place the pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Attach the Creami paddle to the pint lid, secure the outer bowl lid, and lock the unit into place. Select the Lite Ice Cream mode and let the machine spin until complete.
- Respin if necessary: Remove the pint and check the texture. If it’s powdery rather than creamy and smooth, return the pint to the Ninja Creami and press Respin. Repeat this process until the ice cream achieves a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Finish and serve: Once the ice cream is smooth, make a small indent in the center and add the milk chocolate style baking chips (or optional peanut butter cups if using). Return the pint to the Creami and select the Mix-In function to evenly incorporate the chips. After mixing, serve the ice cream immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is designed for the original Ninja Creami; if you have the Ninja Creami Deluxe, use the 1.5x conversion button to adjust ingredient amounts accordingly.
- Nutrition estimates include the milk chocolate style baking chips, but not the optional peanut butter cups. Adding peanut butter cups adds approximately 85 calories, 1g net carb, and 11g protein per serving.
- Use milk chocolate style baking chips for authentic peanut butter cup flavor. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips will alter the taste.
- If you have leftovers, let the ice cream soften quickly at room temperature, then flatten the surface and store in the Creami pint in the freezer. To serve again, simply re-run the Creami spin or respin to restore creaminess.
