Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups 2% Fairlife milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 Tbsp PBfit Pumpkin Spice
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp additional milk (to add after initial processing)
Optional Mix-ins
- Crushed graham crackers
- Chocolate chips
- Drizzle of 2 Tbsp PBfit Pumpkin Spice mixed with 1 ½ Tbsp milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Add the milk, canned pumpkin, vanilla protein powder, and PBfit Pumpkin Spice into the Ninja Creami container. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Freeze the Mixture: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze solid for 24 hours to ensure proper consistency for processing.
- Initial Creaming: After freezing, remove the container and insert it into the Ninja Creami. Select the ‘Light Ice Cream’ setting to process. Remove the container once finished; the ice cream will appear somewhat powdery at this stage.
- Add Milk and Respin: Create a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add 2 tablespoons of milk. Place the container back into the Ninja Creami and select the ‘Respin’ function. This will make the ice cream creamy and smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Optionally fold in crushed graham crackers or chocolate chips and drizzle with the PBfit Pumpkin Spice and milk mixture if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein pumpkin spice ice cream!
Notes
- Use 2% Fairlife milk or any milk of choice, including dairy-free alternatives, depending on dietary preferences.
- Freezing the mixture for the full 24 hours is crucial for the Ninja Creami to produce the best texture.
- Adding milk after the initial spin helps achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- Optional mix-ins add extra texture and flavor—feel free to experiment with your favorite toppings.
- For a lower sugar version, reduce the maple syrup or use a sugar substitute compatible with freezing.
