Perfect Vanilla Ice Cream with Ninja Creami

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces of coffee concentrate (I used Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew Concentrate from Meijer)
  • 1 scoop of vanilla Orgain Vegan Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups of Friendly Farms Lactose-Free 2% Milk (or your choice of dairy-free milk)
  • 3 tbsp of monk fruit in the raw (or your preferred sweetener)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for mix-ins)

Steps:

  • Blend the Ingredients:
    Blend all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, until well combined.
  • Freeze:
    Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami container and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Run the Ninja Creami:
    After freezing, use the Lite Ice Cream setting on your Ninja Creami to get the perfect creamy texture. Youโ€™ll notice the ice cream will have a hollow center after the first run.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
    Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips into the hollow center, then hit the Mix-In button on your Ninja Creami.
  • Respin:
    Once itโ€™s mixed in, hit Respin to get an even smoother texture and ensure the chocolate chips are well distributed.
  • Enjoy:
    Scoop, serve, and enjoy your coffee chocolate chip ice cream!

5 tips for making the perfect creamy vanilla ice cream with your Ninja Creami:

  1. Use Unsweetened Almond Milk
    This keeps the ice cream light and creamy while reducing the overall calorie count. Itโ€™s a great base for adding flavor without excess sweetness.
  2. Choose Quality Protein Powder
    Opt for a high-quality whey protein like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for the best taste and smooth texture. The vanilla flavor enhances your ice creamโ€™s richness.
  3. Add Sugar-Free Pudding Mix
    Incorporate sugar-free instant pudding mix (like Cheesecake flavor) to improve the creaminess and texture of your ice cream, giving it a luxurious, rich feel.
  4. Customize with Mix-Ins
    Once your ice cream base is ready, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or fruit during the final spin. This gives your ice cream unique flavors and textures.
  5. Spin on Lite Mode
    Use the Lite Ice Cream mode on the Ninja Creami for the best consistency. It will give your ice cream a light, fluffy texture, perfect for scoopingย andย enjoying!
