Biscoff Protein Ice Cream (Ninja Creami)

The Ninja Creami machine truly lives up to the hype. The flavours and textures that you're able to achieve with protein ice cream changes the game for creating healthy desserts.

This Ninja Creami Biscoff Protein Ice Cream contains just 6 ingredients— milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, sugar-free pudding mix, biscoff cookies & cookie butter! Once frozen and creamified in the Ninja Creami, it creates a delicious soft-serve textured ice cream that literally tastes like a McDonald's McFlurry. You will not believe you are eating 52g of protein in one pint of this ice cream recipe.

Get a couple extra Ninja Creami pints and meal prep your protein desserts for the week. This Ninja Creami biscoff ice cream is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Note that I have the Ninja Creami Deluxe model, which has 50% larger pints than the regular Ninja Creami. It also has 11 different modes and some new features compared to the original. I've scaled this recipe to serve 1-2 people, with quantities that will fit in the pint cups of any Ninja Creami machine so everyone can make it.

Ingredient Notes

Here are the ingredients you'll need to make this high protein Ninja Creami ice cream:

• Milk—I typically use 1% Fairlife milk, however any dairy milk should work. Use skim milk to decrease the calories, or just 2% for a creamier texture.
• Vanilla Extract—To enhance the flavor of the ice cream base.
• Vanilla Protein Powder—I like to use the Premier Protein Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla Milkshake. It is creamy and provides 30g protein per serving, plus it doesn't have any weird flavours. Any vanilla protein powder you like will work.
• Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix—You will find that sugar-free pudding mix is a common ingredient in creami recipes because it adds extra flavor and most importantly, a real ice cream-like thickness. While this recipe will still taste great without it, just 1 tablespoon really thickens up the low-fat milk to resemble full-fat ice cream.
• Biscoff spread—microwave for 30 seconds for easier mixing into the ice cream base.
• Biscoff cookies—these crunchy spiced cookies are the perfect mix-in to add some crunch to your high protein ice cream.

Substitutions

• Use different cookies—You can mix-in any type of cookie in this recipe. Try adding Oreos, graham crackers, etc.
• Dairy-Free—Use almond milk and plant-based vanilla protein powder. Check if your cookie butter contains dairy.
• The Ninja Creami is also great for adding more mix ins like m&ms, chocolate chips, fruit chunks, peanut butter, etc. Blend on Lite Ice Cream first, Re-Spin if necessary, then add your mix-ins and blend on Mix-In.
• Sweetness—If you like your ice cream sweeter, add 1-2 teaspoon of your favourite sweetener to the base like maple syrup, honey, agave, or a sugar free alternative. I find the cookie butter adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
