SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THE REESE’S NINJA CREAMI PROTEIN ICE CREAM

You will need the following full ingredient list below to make this easy recipe (the exact measurements, step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Fairlife skim milk – can use milk of choice, however this one contains 14 g protein per serving.
• Unsweetened almond milk – can use nut milk of choice here such as oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk. Or use more Fairlife milk, or other whole milk.
• Peanut butter cookie protein powder – I love PEScience whey protein powder. Alternatively you can use vanilla protein powder and just add more peanut butter powder.
• Vanilla Jello pudding mix
• Peanut butter powder
• Reese’s peanut butter cups or mini Reese’s pieces.
• Optional – chocolate chips, fairlife shakes, regular chocolate milk, maple syrup, cream cheese, heavy cream, cocoa powder, chocolate protein shake, vanilla extract, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE PEANUT BUTTER CUP ICE CREAM RECIPE

1. Add all ingredients except Reese’s pieces to your ninja creami container. Blend till smooth up to the max fill line using a hand held frother.
2. Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
3. Remove frozen pint and run it under hot water for 60-90 seconds.
4. Install the ninja creami pint container into your machine and press the Lite Ice Cream button for the first spin.
5. Check the texture. If it’s still a bit powdery, pop it back in and press the Re-Spin button.
6. Check ice cream. The final product should be creamy and have a smooth texture. If your desired consistency isn’t reached you can add 1 tbsp of milk and spin again on the respin setting. Keep in mind when you add mix-ins it will mix the ice cream again.
7. Once creamy and smooth, make a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the chopped Reese’s pieces. Blend once more using the mix ins button and enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

1. High-Quality Protein Powder: Choose a chocolate protein powder that complements the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. Look for a protein powder with minimal additives and a taste you enjoy.

2. Re-Spin for Maximum Creaminess – If your ice cream comes out too firm or powdery after the first spin, just hit Re-Spin to get that ultra-smooth consistency.

3. Don’t Skip the Pudding Mix – This is key for thick, creamy texture. It helps prevent the ice cream from turning icy and gives it that real-deal creamy consistency.

4. Add Mix-Ins at the End – Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Reese’s Pieces should be added after spinning using the Mix-Ins button. This keeps them from getting blended into oblivion.

5. Adjust Sweetness If Needed – If you like your ice cream extra sweet, add a dash of maple syrup, honey, or a sugar-free sweetener before freezing.

6. Store Properly for the Best Leftovers – If you don’t finish it all (which is rare), keep the pint covered in the freezer. Before eating again, let it sit for 5-10 minutes or do a quick Re-Spin to bring back that creamy consistency.

7. Get Creative with Toppings – Drizzle with melted peanut butter, sugar-free chocolate sauce, or crushed graham crackers for the ultimate peanut butter cup experience.

FAQS

HOW DOES THE NINJA CREAMI DIFFER FROM A TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM MAKER OR REGULAR BLENDER?

A traditional ice cream maker relies on churning to gradually freeze a liquid base while continuously mixing. This process usually takes 30-45 minutes and requires either a pre-frozen bowl or an old-school ice-and-salt setup.

The result? Classic ice cream—but only if you’re using the right ratio of heavy cream, eggs, and sugar. If your mix is too low in fat, the ice cream can turn out icy or grainy.

The Ninja Creami, on the other hand, starts with a solid frozen base. Instead of churning, it uses a creamerizer paddle to shave and blend the frozen mixture into a perfectly smooth texture.

This means you can skip the heavy cream and sugar and still get a rich, creamy dessert using protein powder, almond milk, or other healthier ingredients.

Plus, it’s faster—just a quick 1-2 minute spin, and you’ve got ice cream ready to eat (no long churning times required!).

Another big difference? Control over texture.

In a traditional ice cream maker, you get what you get. But with the Ninja Creami, you can tweak the texture by hitting the Re-Spin button, adding mix-ins, or adjusting ingredients to make it thicker or softer.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MILK IN THIS REESE’S NINJA CREAMI RECIPE?

Absolutely! You can use any plant-based milk or regular milk of your choice, such as soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk.

WHY ARE MY NINJA CREAMI RECIPES TURNING OUT ICY?

If your ninja creami ice cream recipes are turning out icy there are two ingredients that will help resolve this. 

The first is instant pudding mix or jello mix. Instant pudding mix contains ingredients like modified starches and gelatin, which act as thickeners.

When added to the recipe, the pudding mix helps create a thicker consistency, reducing the formation of ice crystals and resulting in a smoother texture.

The second ingredient that can help is guar gum. Guar gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the guar bean. 

When added to Ninja Creami recipes, it helps increase viscosity and create a smooth and creamy texture. The thickening properties of guar gum help prevent the formation of large ice crystals, resulting in a more velvety consistency.

CAN I USE A TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM MAKER INSTEAD OF THE NINJA CREAMI MACHINE FOR THIS REESE’S NINJA CREAMI RECIPE?

Nope! Traditional ice cream makers churn liquid bases, while the Ninja Creami ice cream machine starts with a solid frozen base and spins it into creamy perfection.

If you try to use this Reese’s Ninja Creami recipe in a traditional machine, the texture won’t turn out the same.

HOW LONG CAN I STORE THIS PEANUT BUTTER CUP PROTEIN ICE CREAM IN THE FREEZER? 

It is best to consume peanut butter cup ninja creami protein ice cream within 1-2 weeks for the freshest taste and texture. Over time, ice crystals may form, affecting the creaminess.
