Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the Ninja Creami pint and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place the container on a flat surface in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 24 hours, or until solid.
  • Remove the pint from the freezer and let it sit for 30 seconds. Run it under hot water briefly to loosen the edges.
  • Secure the pint into the Ninja Creami outer bowl, then lock the lid in place.
  • Select the “Shake” function on the Ninja Creami and let it run through the cycle. If it's still thick you can add an additional tablespoon of protein shake and respin.
  • Pour the shake into a glass, add a straw and top with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • 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 next time and scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
  • If you're looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
