SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HIGH-PROTEIN BROWNIE BATTER ICE CREAM

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the ice cream brownie recipe (the exact measurements, step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Fairlife chocolate milk – alternatively you can use a chocolate protein shake and omit the chocolate protein powder. For a less rich chocolate flavor you can add some whole milk or even skim milk to lower the calories slightly.
• Unsweetened almond milk – alternative non-dairy milk such as cashew milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.
• Sugar-free chocolate pudding mix – the instant pudding mix is used to make the ice cream thick and creamy. Can also use guar gum or xanthan gum.
• Chocolate protein powder – chocolate whey protein or chocolate plant-based protein.
• Optional – cocoa powder, maple syrup, corn syrup, cookie butter, chocolate chips, brown sugar, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Add the chocolate milk, almond milk, pudding mix, and chocolate protein powder 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. 
6. Make a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add your brownie chunks. Mix again using the “mix-in” button. Enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Mix Thoroughly: Whisk the protein powder and pudding mix thoroughly into the milk to ensure there are no lumps. This will give you a smooth, creamy texture in the final ice cream.
• Let It Freeze Fully: Allow the mixture to freeze for a full 24 hours in the Ninja Creami pint container. This ensures the ice cream will churn properly and achieve the right consistency.
• Chop Brownie Chunks Small: Cut the protein bar into small, bite-sized pieces. This helps distribute the brownie chunks evenly throughout the ice cream.
• Re-Spin if Needed: If the ice cream is too hard after the first churn, use the “Re-Spin” function on the Ninja Creami for a softer, creamier texture.
• Don’t Overfill: When adding the mix-ins, don’t overfill the pint. This ensures the machine can mix everything evenly without overloading.
• Serve Immediately: Enjoy the ice cream right after processing for the best texture. If you have leftovers, you can reprocess it in the Ninja Creami to restore the creamy consistency before serving again.
• Customize Your Mix-Ins: Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter to make the ice cream your own.
