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.

cultural

cultural

cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making Oreo ice cream with the Ninja Creami?

A

Common errors include not freezing the mixture long enough (resulting in a soft, icy texture), skipping the tiny milk splash (which can cause graininess), and over‑mixing the crushed Oreos (which makes them disappear). Follow the critical steps for best results.

technical
Q

Why does this recipe use the Light Ice Cream function and a milk splash instead of the regular Ice Cream function?

A

The Light Ice Cream function is designed for low‑fat mixtures, producing a smoother texture with less over‑run. Adding a splash of milk after the first spin re‑hydrates the protein powder, eliminating grainy spots and improving creaminess.

technical
Q

Can I make this Oreo ice cream ahead of time and how should I store it?

A

Yes. After the final spin, keep the pint sealed in the freezer for up to two weeks. For serving, let it sit at room temperature for 2‑3 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

technical
Q

What texture and appearance should I look for when the ice cream is done in the Ninja Creami?

A

The ice cream should be smooth, creamy, and free of icy crystals. It will have a light, airy consistency similar to soft‑serve, with a pale beige color from the milk and a speckled appearance from the protein powder.
