WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE NINJA CREAMI COOKIE DOUGH PROTEIN ICE CREAM

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the creamy vanilla ice cream (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Fairlife 2% milk – can use milk of choice, however this one contains 14 g protein per serving. Whole milk or skim 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 vanilla pudding mix – jello mix. Alternatively you can use guar gum to thicken the ice cream base and reduce the ice crystals.
• Brown sugar – a brown monk fruit extract works well here too.
• Powdered peanut butter – PB Fit is our favorite but PB2 also works well.
• Vanilla extract
• Butter extract
• Pinch of salt
• Edible cookie dough bites – can use raw cookie dough as well or a cookie dough protein bar. Brownie dough is another great option.
• Unsweetened chocolate chips – can also use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
• Optional – vanilla bean paste, heavy cream, cottage cheese, frozen bananas, cocoa butter, vegan cream cheese, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE NINJA CREAMI COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM

1. Add all ingredients except the cookie dough and chocolate 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. 
6. Add your cookie dough bites and chocolate chips and mix again using the “mix-in” button. Enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR YOUR HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

• Flatten the top of the pint before freezing to avoid blade damage.

• Let it fully freeze — 24 hours is key for a good first spin.

• Use real edible cookie dough or chop up a protein bar for a quick fix.

• Don’t skip the butter emulsion — it makes this taste so much more like the real deal.
