Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at refrigerator temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Add almond butter to the mixture and blend using a hand mixer or whisk until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Pour the liquid mixture into a Ninja Creami compatible pint container, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Place the container in the freezer for 24 hours, ensuring it is completely level and undisturbed.
- Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and insert into the Ninja Creami machine.
- Select the "Protein" setting and process the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- If the mixture is too dry, use the "Re-spin" function to achieve desired texture.
- Once processed, sprinkle chopped almonds over the top and gently fold into the ice cream.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, or store in the freezer for up to one week.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are cold before mixing to help achieve the smoothest texture possible.
- Protein Powder Selection: Choose a high-quality chocolate protein powder with good mixing properties to prevent clumping.
- Freezing Technique: Place the container absolutely flat in the freezer to ensure even freezing, which is crucial for the Ninja Creami's processing.
- Patience is Key: Allow the full 24-hour freezing time for the best results - rushing can compromise texture.
- Texture Troubleshooting: If the ice cream is too icy, use the "Re-spin" function multiple times to achieve a creamier consistency.
- Storage Hack: If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors or swap almonds for other nuts to personalize your protein ice cream.
