Cookies & Cream High Protein Ice Cream

This cookies & cream high protein ice cream is made in the Ninja Creami to give you 39 grams of protein for the whole pint.

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Ninja Creami
• Creami pints: Should already come with the creami.
• Frother: Optional – I use this for mixing.

Ingredients

• 2% low fat cottage cheese
• Unsweetened almond milk: Or cashew milk.
• Vanilla protein powder: My current favorite for my protein ice cream is the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard vanilla ice cream protein.
• Sugar Free Jell-O pudding mix: I like the white chocolate one best. Vanilla works as well.
• Sweetener: I use Truvia 
• Salt
• Oreo thins: I like the thins because there’s more cookie for the same calories. You can totally sub regular Oreos or whatever kind you love.

How To Make It

1. Mix all ingredients: Blend cottage cheese and almond milk first in a blender, then pour into Creami pint. Add protein powder, pudding mix, sweetener, salt, and mix with the frother until smooth.
2. Freeze: Place in the freezer (make sure it’s level) and freeze for a minimum of 8 hours. I usually make these the night before, but I’ve also made them first thing in the morning and had them later that night.
3. Spin: Run on the “light ice cream” function, then add 1 tbsp more of milk or water and re-spin. Add 3 of the Oreo thins, run on the “mix ins” function, then crumble the remaining Oreo on top and enjoy!

Tips

• Run under hot water: When I first take my creami out of the freezer, I like to run it under hot water for a few seconds to help get rid of that outer icy layer.
• Softer ice cream: Get a softer texture by adding more milk or water before the re-spin (2-3 tbsp), or by letting it sit out longer before spinning (around 10 minutes).
