Notes
- The ice cream firms up after about 45 minutes in the freezer enough that you can scoop it into gluten-free ice cream cones! If you want soft serve, you can eat it right after processing or only freeze it for 20 minutes and serve in bowls.
- You can easily make chocolate protein ice cream by subbing chocolate flavored powder in place of vanilla protein.
- It’s best eaten the day of making but if you want to eat it again you’ll have to thaw it on the counter for 5-10 minutes before scooping and it’s best served in a bowl. Not as creamy but harder.
