Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (or powdered peanut butter for fewer calories)
- 1 tbsp sugar-free caramel syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp crushed peanuts
- Sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- Blend protein powder, almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth.
- Freeze the Mixture:
- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container or a freezer-safe bowl.
- Freeze for 6-8 hours, or overnight, until completely solid.
- Blend & Creamify:
- If using a Ninja Creami, process the frozen base using the “Ice Cream” setting.
- If the texture is too firm, add a splash of almond milk and re-blend.
- Add Mix-Ins:
- Stir in sugar-free chocolate chips and crushed peanuts for a Snickers-like texture.
- Drizzle with sugar-free caramel syrup for extra flavor.
- Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or freeze for 15 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Garnish with extra peanut butter drizzle or chopped peanuts for added crunch!
Notes
- Use Casein Protein for Extra Creaminess: Whey protein can make the texture icy, while casein results in a smoother finish.
- Let It Sit Before Blending: If too frozen, allow the container to sit for 5-10 minutes before processing.
- Adjust Sweetness to Your Liking: Taste the base before freezing and adjust the sweetener accordingly.
- For a Vegan Option: Use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Make It Extra Thick: Add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum or gelatin for a creamier texture.
- Low-Carb Swap: Use heavy cream or coconut milk instead of almond milk for a keto-friendly version.
