Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk (240g) *see notes if subbing
  • 3 Tbsp peanut butter powder (24g)
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla protein powder (15g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp liquid stevia or sweetener of choice to taste
Mix-ins:
  • Reese's 6 minis unwrapped or 1 regular Reese's, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Fairlife 2% milk (15g)
Optional for topping:
  • whipped cream, Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s cups, chocolate syrup, etc!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the base ingredients to an empty Ninja Creami pint and use an immersion blender to combine (or you can blend in a food processor or blender). Freeze for 8-12 hours.
  2. Take out and run through the Lite Ice Cream cycle once.
  3. Then make a well in the center of the ice cream and add the 1 Tbsp milk and chopped Reese’s.
  4. Run through the mix-in cycle then top with whipped cream, Reese’s Pieces and more chopped Reese’s if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If using fat free milk/almond milk:  Add 1 oz. cream cheese or 1/2 cup cottage cheese in addition to the milk, which will help with creaminess (otherwise it will just be a little more icey). If subbing for whole milk you will be fine!
  • Helpful Tips
  • Helpful Tips
  • Prep in advance. I have found that I don't necessarily need to wait 24 hours, but if I make this ice cream the morning of, say 8 hours in advance, I am good!
  • Avoid Icy Edges. Run the container under hot water for 30 seconds before running it through the machine (or let sit out on the counter for 15-20 minutes). After the initial spin, run a butter knife or spoon along the sides and re-spin.
  • Additional Re-spins. If you like your ice cream more like soft serve, you can re-spin 2-3 times before adding in your mix ins. This will soften the ice cream. If you like your ice cream more scoop-able, I recommend sticking with 1 re-spin.
  • Don't overfill the container. The ice cream will expand in volume as your re-spin so don't worry if it looks like the pint isn't initially full. Leaving adequate room in the container will allow the ice cream to spin correct to make the best, most creamy ice cream.
