​INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE COSMIC BROWNIE ICE CREAM

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the brownie batter ice cream (the exact measurements, step-by-step instructions and full recipe are in the 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.
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • 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 – I love Chocolate Truffle from PEScience, you can use code BAILEY at checkout to save money on all their products. This is a whey casein blend protein powder.
  • Chocolate chips
  • Mini rainbow chips
  • Optional – brownie pieces, unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut milk, greek yogurt, heavy cream, your favorite toppings, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

  1. Add all ingredients to the ninja creami pint 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. Once desired consistency is reached, add chocolate chips and mini rainbow chips. Press mix-in button. 
  7. Top with more mini rainbow chips and enjoy!

TIPS AND VARIATIONS FOR THIS HEALTHY ICE CREAM RECIPE

  1. Protein Powder Options: Choose a high-quality chocolate protein powder that suits your dietary preferences and needs. You can opt for whey protein, plant-based protein, or collagen protein powder. Ensure it is a flavor you enjoy since it will heavily influence the taste of the ice cream.
  2. Sweetness Level: The natural sweetness of the ripe bananas often suffices for most individuals, but if you prefer a sweeter ice cream, you can add a small amount of sweetener like maple syrup or stevia to the blender.
  3. Mix-in Magic: Feel free to get creative with mix-ins to enhance the texture and flavor of your chocolate protein ice cream. Consider adding a chopped protein bar, crushed cookies, chopped nuts, chocolate chunks, or even a swirl of peanut butter for added indulgence.

FAQS

Our preference is PEScience protein powder which is a whey and casein blend. Chocolate Truffle works great in this.
