Ingredients You Need for Ninja Creami Butterscotch Protein Ice Cream

• 1 cup milk (low fat or whole)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons butterscotch pudding mix
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons light cream or half and half
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a mixing bowl, combine milk, protein powder and butterscotch pudding mix. Whisk well until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. This creates a creamy and flavorful base.

2. Add Flavor Ingredients

Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, light cream and a pinch of salt. Stir well until everything blends together. These ingredients add sweetness and a rich butterscotch taste.

3. Pour Into Container

Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Do not fill above the maximum line. Smooth the top with a spoon so it freezes evenly.

4. Freeze the Mixture

Place the container in the freezer for about 8–10 hours. It should freeze completely. This step is important for good ice cream texture.

5. Spin in Ninja Creami

Remove the frozen container from the freezer. Place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting and let the machine process it.

6. Re-spin if Needed

Check the texture after the first spin. If it looks crumbly, run the “Re-Spin” cycle. This makes the ice cream extra smooth and creamy.

7. Add Optional Mix-Ins

You can add small butterscotch chips or crushed cookies. Make a small hole in the center. Use the “Mix-In” setting to blend them.

8. Scoop and Serve

Scoop the creamy ice cream into bowls. Serve immediately for the best texture. Enjoy the smooth butterscotch flavor.

Recipe Tips

• Freeze the base completely before using the Ninja Creami.
• Use a good quality protein powder for better flavor.
• Add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick.

Serving Suggestions

The Ninja Creami Butterscotch Protein Ice Cream Recipe tastes best when served fresh after spinning. I like to add a small drizzle of butterscotch sauce on top.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami container with the lid closed. Keep it in the freezer for up to 5 days.

When ready to eat again, run the “Re-Spin” cycle in the Ninja Creami. This restores the creamy texture. If needed, add one tablespoon of milk before re-spinning.

Ice cream should not be reheated in a microwave. It will melt and lose its texture.
