This Ninja Creami Brownie Batter Protein Ice Cream delivers a rich, chocolatey flavor with the creamy texture of traditional ice cream. Each serving packs over 12 grams of protein, making it a satisfying and guilt-free dessert that mimics the indulgence of brownie batter without the excess sugar and fat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (30g) chocolate whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and tools: a blender, Ninja Creami machine, and a pint container with lid. Ensure the Ninja Creami pint is clean and dry to prevent ice crystals from forming during freezing.
  2. In the blender, combine 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 cup whole milk. The milk helps achieve a smoother consistency, while the salt enhances the chocolate flavor.
  3. Blend on medium speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to ensure even blending, as clumps can affect the final texture.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. This space allows for expansion during freezing and prevents overflow when processing in the machine.
  5. Securely place the lid on the pint container and freeze it upright for at least 24 hours, or until solid. A full freeze is critical; if the base is not frozen through, the Creami will not process it properly, resulting in a slushy texture.
  6. After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Place the container directly into the Ninja Creami machine, ensuring it is locked into position according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Process on the ‘Ice Cream’ setting for one full cycle, which typically takes about 2 minutes. The machine will churn and aerate the frozen base, transforming it into a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
  8. Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the pint from the machine. The ice cream should be smooth and scoopable; if it appears crumbly or icy, use the ‘Re-spin’ function for 30-60 seconds to improve the texture.
  9. For an authentic brownie batter experience, gently fold in 1/4 cup of chopped brownie pieces or dark chocolate chips after processing. Do this quickly to prevent melting, using a spatula to incorporate evenly.
  10. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or for firmer ice cream, return the pint to the freezer for 30 minutes before scooping. This allows it to set further without becoming too hard.
  11. If not consuming all at once, store leftovers in the same pint container with the lid on. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice cream to minimize ice crystal formation.
  12. The ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. To serve after storage, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften, or process briefly in the Ninja Creami on the ‘Re-spin’ setting to restore creaminess.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. For best texture, consume within 2 weeks. If ice cream becomes too hard after storage, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften, or process briefly in the Ninja Creami on the ‘Re-spin’ setting. To boost protein further, consider adding an extra scoop of protein powder or mixing in 1/2 cup of cottage cheese during blending.
