Ingredients
1 1/3 bottles of Chocolate Fairlife Protein Shake (use 1 bottle for a smaller portion)
1 tablespoon chocolate sugar-free pudding mix (optional for added creaminess)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
(Optional substitutions: any ready-to-drink protein shake, Dutch-process cocoa for richer flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the protein shake, cocoa powder, and pudding mix until smooth. The texture should resemble thick chocolate milk. (Use a handheld frother for best results and adjust sweetness to taste.)
Freeze the Base: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Do not exceed the max fill line. Seal and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours, until fully solid.
Spin into Ice Cream: Remove from freezer, place the pint in the Ninja Creami’s outer bowl, secure the lid, and use the “Lite Ice Cream” setting.
Re-spin for Creaminess: If the result is crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk and run the “Re-spin” function. Repeat until smooth and creamy.
Notes
Fairlife protein shakes create the creamiest texture, but other brands can work.
Pudding mix adds smoothness but is optional.
Use Dutch-process cocoa for deeper chocolate flavor.
Re-spinning with a splash of milk helps fix crumbly textures without diluting flavor.
