Ingredients
- Chocolate Premier Protein shake – the creamy, protein-packed base for this ice cream.
- Chocolate milk – adds extra chocolate flavor and smooth texture.
- Instant chocolate pudding mix – helps create that much creamier texture!
- Brownie bites, broken up – the best part—rich, chocolatey chunks in every bite!
Instructions
1. Combine the protein shake, chocolate milk, pudding mix, and vanilla extract in the Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well to ensure everything is fully mixed.
2. Freeze the pint container on a flat, level surface for at least 24 hours or until frozen solid.
3. When ready, run the frozen pint under hot water for 30 seconds to loosen the sides.
4. Remove the lid and place the container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami.
5. Secure the outer bowl lid, insert it into the Ninja Creami machine, and press the Lite Ice Cream button. Let the cycle complete.
6. Check the texture; if powdery, use the Re-spin function for a much creamier texture.
7. Create a hole in the center of the ice cream and add the broken-up brownie bites.
8. Use the Mix-In button to evenly distribute the brownie pieces throughout the entire base.
9. Scoop, serve, and enjoy this creamy treat with your favorite toppings!
Tips & Tricks
- Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum before freezing for the best results. This can also be substituted for the pudding mix.
- Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly throughout the entire pint.
- Place the creami container on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle, which can affect the consistency.
- If the ice cream is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer, creamier texture.
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of pudding mix?
Yes! If you want to avoid artificial sweeteners, you can try natural sweeteners like a tablespoon of honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Just keep in mind that it may slightly alter the creamy texture.
Can I use a traditional ice cream maker instead of the Ninja Creami?
While this recipe is specifically designed for the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, you can experiment with a traditional ice cream maker. However, you may need to adjust the liquid ratio and churn time for best results.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
If you don’t finish the entire pint in one serving, simply smooth out the top, place the lid back on, and freeze it again. If it’s too hard, let it thaw slightly and use the original function for a creamier texture.
