(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until the cream cheese is fully incorporated into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the pint storage container that came with your Ninja Creami machine. Attach the storage lid and place the container in the freezer on a level surface. Freeze for 24 hours or overnight.
When you’re ready to eat, remove the lid and place the pint container into the outer bowl assembly of the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the outer bowl lid securely.
Set the Ninja Creami machine to the “LITE ice cream” button. The cycle will only take a few minutes to run.
Once the cycle is complete, check the texture. If it appears powdery, run the “LITE ice cream” cycle again.
If the texture is still powdery after the second cycle, add a tablespoon of almond milk to the mixture and run it through the cycle one more time. The result should be a smooth, creamy consistency.
If you have any leftovers, smooth the surface of the ice cream and place the lid back on the pint container. Refreeze and when you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply run it through the Ninja Creami machine like the first time.

Variations

Nut butter options: If you don’t have PBFit Peanut Butter Powder, you can substitute with any other peanut butter powder or natural peanut butter. Just keep in mind that the texture may change slightly.
Add-ins: To enhance the texture, consider adding crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or keto-friendly swirls (like sugar-free caramel or fudge).
Flavor variety: Try using vanilla protein drink or a different flavor of protein powder for a variety of tastes. You can even experiment with adding mint extract or cinnamon for unique twists.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftovers in the pint container in the freezer for up to a week. Be sure to smooth the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Reheating: If the ice cream hardens too much, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before running it through the Ninja Creami machine again to restore its creamy texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of peanut butter powder?

Yes, you can use regular peanut butter, but keep in mind that the texture will change, and the ice cream may be a little more oily. Adjust the amount to your taste.

Can I use a different protein drink brand?

Yes, you can substitute the FairLife Chocolate Protein Drink with any other chocolate-flavored protein drink or powder. Just be sure to check the nutritional content to maintain the keto-friendly nature of the recipe.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami machine?

While the Ninja Creami machine is designed for smooth ice cream, you can still make this recipe using a regular blender. After freezing, blend the ice cream again until smooth, then refreeze it. It may not have the same consistency, but it will still be delicious!

Can I make this recipe without the cream cheese?

Yes, you can omit the cream cheese, but it may slightly affect the creaminess of the texture. You could try substituting with a little bit of coconut cream for a similar richness.

How can I make the ice cream softer if it’s too hard after freezing?

If your ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly. Running it through the Ninja Creami again can also restore its creamy texture.

Can I make this recipe with a dairy-free protein drink?

Yes! You can substitute with a dairy-free chocolate protein drink if you’re following a dairy-free or vegan diet. Just ensure that the rest of the ingredients are also dairy-free.

How can I make this recipe sweeter?

If you’d like it sweeter, you can add more stevia drops or another low-carb sweetener of your choice. Taste the mixture before freezing to make sure it reaches your desired sweetness level.

Can I use almond milk instead of protein drink?

The protein drink is key for the creamy texture and protein content, so substituting with almond milk would change the texture and flavor. If you prefer almond milk, you may need to add additional thickening agents, like more cream cheese or a little heavy cream.

How can I make this recipe in larger quantities?

You can easily scale the ingredients up to make a larger batch. Just ensure you have a larger pint container or multiple containers to freeze the mixture.

Can I make this ice cream without a freezer?

This recipe requires a freezer to allow the ice cream to set. However, if you don’t have access to a freezer, you can try using an ice cream maker as an alternative, following its specific instructions for keto-friendly ice cream.

Keto Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream is the ultimate low-carb indulgence.
