Super Easy Protein Ice Cream
Description
This protein ice cream recipe uses coconut cream as a rich, dairy-free base combined with pasteurized egg yolk for smoothness and collagen powder for added protein content. Sweetened with vanilla-flavored stevia and honey for balance, the ingredients are blended gently to avoid introducing excess air. Sprinkles are folded in before freezing to add texture and color.
The mixture is placed in a shallow pan and frozen for 30 to 45 minutes, with periodic checks to reach the desired firmness. The ice cream achieves a creamy, scoopable consistency and can be served in gluten-free cones or bowls. The recipe's flexibility allows adjustment of freezing times depending on the thickness of the coconut cream used.
Vanilla stevia can be substituted with regular vanilla extract and powdered stevia with careful adjustment to maintain balanced sweetness without adding extra honey. Monitoring freezing prevents ice crystal formation, ensuring a creamy texture instead of a hard, icy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream from a can
- ½ cup egg pasteurized, yolk
- ⅛ cup collagen powder
- ½ teaspoon stevia vanilla flavor
- 1 tbs honey
- 1.5 tbs Sprinkles dairy and gluten-free
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients except sprinkles in a blender very quickly (you don’t want too much air).
- Portion into an 8x3 pan and mix in sprinkles.
- Place in freezer to set for 30-45 minutes checking frequently.
- Once desired texture is achieved, remove from the freezer and scoop into gluten-free ice cream cones or bowls.
Notes
- If using thick coconut cream, about 30 minutes in the freezer is sufficient for scoopable texture; thinner coconut creams may require up to an hour.
- Replace vanilla stevia with ½ teaspoon of regular vanilla extract plus powdered stevia, but avoid increasing honey to keep sweetness balanced.
- Check the ice cream frequently during freezing to prevent it from becoming too hard or icy.
