SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE MOOSE TRACKS FUDGE PROTEIN ICE CREAM

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

• Fairlife skim milk – can use milk of choice, however this one contains 14 grams of protein per serving. Whole milk or nonfat 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 – I love PEScience whey protein powder. Perfect to add some extra protein.
• Instant vanilla pudding mix – jello mix. Can also use xanthan gum instead if desired.
• Salt
• Chocolate chips – which get melted to create the fudge
• Mini Reese’s chocolate-covered peanut butter cups
• Optional – vanilla extract, vanilla beans, heavy cream, high-protein brownie chunks, chocolate chips, fudge cups, brown sugar, cocoa powder, liquid sugar, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THIS VANILLA ICE CREAM

1. Add fairlife skim milk, almond milk, protein powder, pudding mix and salt 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 of liquid and spin again on the respin setting. 
6. While ice cream is mixing, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until a chocolate fudge is created.
7. Make a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add your peanut butter cups and chocolate fudge. Mix again using the “mix-in” button. Enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BESLT RESULTS

• Taste Before Freezing: Adjust the sweetness by tasting the mixture before freezing. Add more monk fruit sweetener if needed.
• Freeze Completely: Ensure the mixture is completely frozen for at least 24 hours before processing in the Ninja Creami.
• Chop Mix-Ins Small: Chop the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups and chocolate into small pieces to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
• Reprocess if Needed: If the ice cream is too hard after the first run, use the “Re-Spin” function on the Ninja Creami for a softer consistency.
• Store Properly: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Reprocess in the Ninja Creami before serving again to restore the creamy texture.
• Customize Mix-Ins: Feel free to add other mix-ins like caramel swirls, nuts, or extra chocolate chunks for variety.
• Don’t Overfill: Avoid overfilling the pint container to ensure proper freezing and processing.

FAQS

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

The Ninja Creami differs significantly from traditional ice cream makers as it doesn’t require pre-freezing the bowl and can churn ice cream from a frozen pint of the base mixture you prepare the next day. This means you can go from prep to eating with minimal effort and waiting time.

HOW DO I GET MORE OF A SOFT-SERVE CONSISTENCY FOR THIS CREAMY TREAT?

After spinning using the Lite Ice Cream function, add more milk to the ninja creami pint and spin again on re-spin setting. Adding the additional liquid will yield more soft-serve results vs thick ice cream.

WHAT PLANT-BASED ALTERNATIVES CAN I USE IN THE NINJA CREAMI FOR A CREAMY TEXTURE?

For those interested in plant-based alternatives, using plant-based milks like coconut, almond, or oat milk can provide a creamy texture for your ice cream. Additionally, using a plant-based cream or even a small amount of xanthan gum can help emulate the richness typically provided by dairy.

CAN I MAKE SMOOTHIE BOWLS IN THE NINJA CREAMI?

Yes, the Ninja Creami isn’t just for ice cream and sorbet. You can also make thick, creamy smoothie bowls. Use the sorbet function with frozen fruits and minimal liquid to create a thick base perfect for topping with your favorite smoothie bowl ingredients.

ANY FINAL TIPS FOR USING THE NINJA CREAMI MACHINE?

For the best results, always ensure your base mixture is thoroughly chilled and the Ninja Creami pint is fully frozen before use. This helps in achieving a smooth and creamy texture.
