This Ninja Creami Mocha Espresso Protein Ice Cream is a delicious and creamy treat that combines rich chocolate and bold espresso flavors with the added protein boost. Perfect as a healthy dessert or post-workout snack, this recipe utilizes the Ninja Creami to create a smooth, scoopable ice cream with optional mix-ins like mini chocolate chips or nut butter.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 spoonful cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chilled espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

Optional Mix-ins

  • mini chocolate chips
  • nut butter

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chilled espresso, and milk of choice to a Ninja Creami pint container.
  2. Mix Until Smooth: Whisk or blend the mixture well to ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Freeze the Mixture: Place the pint in the freezer and freeze overnight for at least 8 hours until it is completely solid.
  4. Create Ice Cream: Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process it using the 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Ice Cream' setting for a creamy texture.
  5. Adjust Texture: If the ice cream is too dry or crumbly, run the pint through the machine again to re-spin and achieve a creamier consistency.
  6. Add Mix-ins: Stir in optional mini chocolate chips or nut butter, then use the ‘mix-in’ feature on the Ninja Creami to evenly incorporate them.
  7. Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones, serve immediately, and enjoy your mocha espresso protein treat.

Notes

  • Use chilled espresso or strong coffee for best flavor and to keep the mixture cold before freezing.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based or dairy milk depending on dietary preferences.
  • If you don't have a Ninja Creami, alternatively blend the frozen mixture in a high-speed blender and freeze again for a similar effect.
  • Add mix-ins according to your preference for texture and flavor contrast.
  • For a richer ice cream, use whole milk or add a splash of cream if desired.
  • Make sure the mixture is fully frozen overnight for optimal ice cream consistency.
