• Fairlife skim milk – can use milk of choice, however this one contains 14 g protein per serving. Whole milk can also be used.
• Unsweetened almond milk – can use nut milk of choice here such as coconut milk, unsweetened oat milk, or cashew milk.
• Vanilla protein powder 
• Instant sugar-free butterscotch pudding mix – can also use guar gum as well to prevent icy crystals.
• Sugar-free caramel syrup
• Butterscotch chips
• Optional – heavy cream, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, cream cheese, coconut sugar, monk fruit, whipped cream, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Add all ingredients except butterscotch chips to the ninja creami pint container up to the max fill line and mix well with hand held frother.
2. Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
3. Remove frozen pint, run under hot water for 60 seconds and install into your machine. It’s important that your pint has a level surface, otherwise it can damage the blade. 
4. For the first spin, press lite Ice Cream button. Remove the outer bowl lid. If ice cream is still powdery, then add back to machine and press respin button.
5. Check ice cream. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If your desired consistency isn’t reached you can add a bit more liquid and spin again on the respin setting.

7. Top with additional butterscotch chips and enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. Quality Ingredients Matter

• Go Premium: Use high-quality butterscotch sauce for the richest flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, making your own sauce can elevate the taste even further.

2. Perfect Your Base

• Smooth Mix: Ensure all your ingredients are well combined before freezing. A smooth, homogenous mixture helps prevent ice crystals and ensures that the butterscotch flavor is evenly distributed.

3. Chill Thoroughly

• Freeze Properly: Make sure your ice cream base is completely frozen before placing it in the Ninja Creami. A solid freeze is crucial for achieving that creamy consistency.

4. Experiment with Textures

• Re-spin if Needed: After the initial churn, check the texture. If it’s not creamy enough for your liking, don’t hesitate to run it through the Ninja Creami again. Sometimes a second spin makes all the difference.

5. Add Ins

• Custom Flavors: Introduce texture and layers of flavor by adding mix-ins after the first churn. Think crushed cookies, chopped nuts, or even chunks of chocolate. Just make sure to add them at the end so they maintain their crunch.

FAQS

HOW DOES THE NINJA CREAMI COMPARE TO A TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM MAKER?

The Ninja Creami stands out by not requiring pre-frozen bowls and offering multiple preset buttons for different flavors and textures. Unlike traditional ice cream makers that can take hours, the Ninja Creami can transform ingredients into creamy ice cream texture in minutes after the initial freeze.

CAN I USE NON-DAIRY MILK IN MY NINJA CREAMI ICE CREAM RECIPES?

Yes, non-dairy milk works wonderfully in the Ninja Creami. For the best texture, opt for full-fat versions like coconut milk, which help mimic the richness of traditional dairy. 

CAN I USE A CARAMEL PROTEIN SHAKE INSTEAD OF THE MILK IN THIS RECIPE?

Absolutely! Using a caramel protein shake instead of milk in your Ninja Creami ice cream recipe is a fantastic way to boost both the flavor and the nutritional content. 

The protein shake will add a nice caramel twist while also making your ice cream a bit more filling and satisfying, especially if you’re aiming for a treat that supports your fitness goals.
