Ingredients

Vanilla Premier Protein shake – the creamy, protein-packed base for this ice cream.
Coconut milk – adds a rich, tropical flavor and helps create a creamy texture.
Instant cheesecake pudding mix – for that creamy, ice cream-like consistency! You can use vanilla pudding mix as well.
Vanilla extract – enhances the sweetness and rounds out the flavors.
Toasted unsweetened coconut – adds a crunchy, nutty texture and extra coconut flavor.
Graham cracker crumbs – mimics the pie crust element of a traditional coconut cream pie.

Instructions

1. Combine protein shake, coconut milk, pudding mix and vanilla extract in the Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well.
2. Freeze the pint container on a flat, level surface for 24 hours or until frozen solid.
3. Run the frozen pint under hot water for 30 seconds to loosen the sides. Remove the lid and place the container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami.
4. Secure the outer bowl lid, insert it into the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, and press the Lite Ice Cream button. Let the cycle complete.
5. Check the texture; if powdery, use the Re-spin function for a smoother consistency.
6. Meanwhile, toast the coconut in the oven on low broil for 2-5 minutes if needed. Watch carefully so that it doesn’t burn. Allow to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks

Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain texture. This can be substituted for the pudding mix.
Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly.
Place the pint on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle.
If the ice cream is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run under hot water for 30 seconds before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
If a dome forms on top while freezing, try freezing without the lid or scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
If you’re looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of milk instead of coconut milk?

Yes! While coconut milk adds a rich, tropical flavor, you can substitute it with almond milk or even heavy cream for a much creamier texture.

What if I don’t have cheesecake pudding mix?

You can swap it for vanilla or coconut pudding mix.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Absolutely! Chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel would make delicious additions to this creamy delight.
