Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup Vanilla Premier Protein shake
- 1 Tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp toffee extract or vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pretzels crushed
- 1 Tbsp toffee bits
- 1 Tbsp caramel syrup
Instructions
- Combine the Vanilla Premier Protein shake, pudding mix, and toffee extract in the Ninja Creami pint container. Stir well to combine.
- Freeze the pint container on a flat, level surface for 24 hours or until frozen solid.
- When ready to serve, 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.
- Secure the outer bowl lid, insert it into the Ninja Creami machine, and press the Lite Ice Cream button. Let the cycle complete.
- Check the texture; if powdery, use the Re-spin function for a much creamier texture.
- Create a hole in the center of the ice cream and add the crushed pretzels and toffee bits. Use the Mix-In button to evenly distribute them throughout the entire pint.
- Top with caramel sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain the creamy texture. This can be substituted for the pudding mix.
- Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly for the best results.
- Place the pint on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle and ensure an even texture.
- 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 it 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 the amount of sugar, consider using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
