Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sweetener erythritol, powdered sugar, allulose, or monkfruit sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • Add the milk, cream cheese, protein powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a Ninja Creami pint, seal, and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Install the pint and run the Lite Ice Cream cycle.
  • If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and run the Mix-In cycle.
  • Scoop and serve immediately, or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use powdered sweeteners only; granulated sweeteners stay gritty.
  • If using plant-based protein, expect to add 1–2 tablespoons of milk during re-spin.
  • Freeze the pint completely flat; uneven bases spin unevenly.
  • Avoid oat milk; it becomes harder and less scoopable in the Creami.
