How to: High Protein ice cream using the ninja creami

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fat‑Free Milk (Fair Life or HB Fat‑Free Mutopia; any fat‑free dairy milk works)
• 1 scoop Ghost Oreo Protein Powder (Approx. 30 g; sample pack used in video)
• 1 tablespoon Fat‑Free Vanilla or Cheesecake Pudding Mix (About 5 g; instant, no‑cook mix)
• 2 cookies Low‑Calorie Oreos (Highkey) (Optional; adds ~50 calories and crunch)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for splash) (Adds extra creaminess during the second blend; optional)

Instructions

1. Combine Base Ingredients

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups fat‑free milk, 1 scoop Ghost Oreo protein powder, and 1 Tbsp fat‑free vanilla (or cheesecake) pudding mix until smooth and no powder clumps remain.

   Time: PT5M

2. Freeze the Mixture

   Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, seal with the lid, and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours (until completely solid).

   Time: PT24H

3. First Spin – Light Ice Cream Function

   Remove the frozen pint from the freezer, install it onto the Ninja Creami, select the “Light Ice Cream” function, and start the machine.

   Time: PT5M

4. Add a Splash of Milk for Creamier Texture

   After the first spin finishes, remove the lid, add a tiny splash (≈1 Tbsp) of fat‑free milk into the center of the ice cream, reseal, and run the “Respin” function.

   Time: PT2M

5. Second Spin – Respin

   Select the “Respin” function on the Ninja Creami and let it run until the texture is smooth and creamy.

   Time: PT2M

6. Optional: Mix‑In Crushed Low‑Cal Oreos

   While the ice cream is in the pint, place 2 low‑calorie Oreos in a zip‑lock bag, crush them into small pieces, create a small crater in the ice cream, and sprinkle the crumbs into the crater. Re‑install the pint and press the “Mix‑In” button.

   Time: PT2M

7. Serve or Store

   Scoop the finished Oreo ice cream into bowls or enjoy straight from the pint. If not serving immediately, return the pint to the freezer.

   Time: PT1M

Critical Steps — Do Not Skip

• Freezing the base mixture for a full 24 hours ensures proper texture.
• Using the Light Ice Cream function followed by a tiny milk splash and Respin creates a smooth, low‑fat consistency.
• Optional mix‑in of crushed low‑calorie Oreos adds authentic cookie crunch without many extra calories.

Chef Tips from the Video

• Using fat‑free milk keeps calories low while still providing a creamy mouthfeel.
• Ghost Oreo protein powder adds authentic Oreo flavor without extra sugar.
• A tiny splash of milk after the first spin dramatically improves smoothness.
• Crush the Oreos just enough to keep texture; over‑crushing makes them disappear.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Refrigerator: Not applicable; keep frozen.

Freezer: Store the pint in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let sit 2‑3 minutes before serving.

Room temperature: Do not store at room temperature; ice cream will melt.

Make-Ahead Tips

• The base mixture can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and kept frozen.
• If you plan to add mix‑ins, crush them just before the final Mix‑In step to retain crunch.
