Ingredients

1 cup Fairlife 2% milk
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop Peanut Butter Cookie protein powder from PEScience
1 tbsp vanilla jello pudding mix
1.5 tbsp PB Fit
Optional - reese's peanut butter cups or reese's pieces

Instructions

Add all ingredients except Reese's pieces to your ninja creami container. Blend till smooth up to the max fill line using a 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 ninja creami pint container 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. Keep in mind when you add mix-ins it will mix the ice cream again.
Once creamy and smooth, make a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the chopped Reese's pieces. Blend once more using the mix ins button and enjoy!

Notes

Can use code BAILEY at checkout on all PEScience products like the Peanut Butter Cookie protein powder.

You can use Fairlife skim milk in this recipe instead. Keep in mind the higher in fat the milk = richer, smoother, dreamier ice cream.

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.

I always pre-chop or crush your mix-ins ahead of time.
