Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup 2% milk
  • ¾ cup skim milk
  • 1 serving vanilla whey protein powder or any vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 small package mini eggs 8-12 eggs

Instructions

  • Add the milk, protein powder, and maple syrup, and vanilla extract 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 mini eggs in the center of the ice cream and blend on "Mix-In" mode. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • If you only have 1 type of milk, you can use entirely skim milk or entirely 2% milk and it will turn out fine.
  • 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 mini eggs will blend into the base.
