Equipment
- Ninja Creami
Ingredients
- ¾ cup 2% milk
- ¾ cup skim milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder I use LeanFit chocolate whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoon powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar free chocolate pudding mix
- Pinch of salt
- 11 mini reese's peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Add the milk, protein powder, pudding mix, powdered peanut butter, and salt to a Ninja Creami pint. Stir and freeze overnight.
- Run the pint under warm water for 30 seconds then dry it off. Place in the outer bowl.
- Blend on “Lite Ice Cream”, then add 1-2 tablespoon extra milk and “Re-spin”. Stuff the peanut butter cups in the center of the ice cream and blend on "Mix-In" mode. Top with a drizzle of natural peanut butter and extra mini reese's cups. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- If you can't find sugar-free pudding mix, this recipe will still taste great without it. It adds a little extra chocolate flavor and thickening.
- If you only have 1 type of milk, you can use entirely skim milk or entirely 2% milk and it will turn out fine.
- If you don't have powdered peanut butter, you can add 1-2 tablespoon of peanut butter to the base. Note that this will increase the calories.
- Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder and milk.
- Run the pint under warm water to soften the sides and reduce ice crystals.
- If you cannot finish the entire pint, flatten the top and re-freeze. Spin on "Lite Ice Cream" next time. The peanut butter cups will blend into the base.
