Ingredients
Ice Cream Base:
-
1 bottle Vanilla Premier Protein Shake (or 1 cup Fairlife milk + 1 scoop vanilla protein powder)
-
1 tbsp sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (for creaminess & texture)
-
1½ tbsp cookie butter (Biscoff spread or a macro-friendly version)
-
½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp nutmeg (optional but brings it home)
-
Dash of salt (to balance the sweet)
Re-Spin:
-
1–2 tbsp Fairlife milk (or any milk of choice, for re-spinning)
Optional Mix-Ins:
-
Crushed Biscoff cookies (1–2 cookies)
-
White chocolate chips (Lily’s for low sugar)
-
Swirl of extra cookie butter on top
Instructions
Step 1: Make Your Base
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine:
-
1 bottle Vanilla Premier Protein (or protein powder + Fairlife combo)
-
1½ tbsp cookie butter
-
1 tbsp sugar-free pudding mix
-
½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, and a dash of salt
Blend or whisk until fully smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Freeze
-
Pour into a Ninja Creami pint or freezer-safe container.
-
Freeze upright for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
Step 3: Spin That Pint
-
After it’s frozen solid, run it through the Lite Ice Cream or Ice Cream function on your Ninja Creami.
-
It may look crumbly after the first spin — don’t worry!
Step 4: Re-Spin
-
Add 1–2 tbsp Fairlife milk to the pint.
-
Use the Re-Spin setting. This brings it to that ultra-creamy texture we’re after.
Step 5: Mix It Up (Optional)
-
Stir in crushed Biscoff cookies, white chocolate chips, or swirl in extra cookie butter.
-
If you’re fancy, hit the Mix-In function for even distribution.
Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into a bowl, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon, and enjoy while cozying up with a good book… or flexing in the mirror. Your call.
