Ingredients

1 ½ cups chocolate Fairlife milk
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop Chocolate Truffle protein powder from PEScience
1 tbsp sugar-free pudding mix
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Add all ingredients to the ninja creami pint up to the max fill line and mix well with hand held frother.
Freeze container for 24 hours until frozen solid.
Remove frozen pint and run it under hot water for 60-90 seconds.
Install the pint into your machine and press the Lite Ice Cream button for the first spin.
Check the texture. If it’s still a bit powdery, pop it back in and press the Re-Spin button.
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. Enjoy!

Notes

Use code BAILEY for PEScience chocolate truffle protein powder.

You don't necessarily have to wait the full 24 hours of freezing time. Yes, waiting the full 24 hours will give you the best, most consistent results. But if you only froze it for 12-16 hours and you’re desperate for a frozen treat, you’re not out of luck. Skip the respin button and instead, hit the Mix-Ins button after the Lite Ice Cream cycle. This prevents the ice cream from getting overworked and soupy, which can happen when the base hasn’t fully solidified.

If your ice cream comes out powdery or crumbly after the first spin, instead of immediately reaching for the milk, try hitting the respin button first. More often than not, that’s all you need to get it creamy.
