Ingredients
1 1/2 cups vanilla protein shake
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup strawberries, chopped or mashed
1 tablespoon cheesecake pudding mix
2 tablespoons graham crackers, crushed
1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener, optional
1 tablespoon milk or extra protein shake, if needed for re-spin
Instructions
1. Add the vanilla protein shake, cream cheese, cheesecake pudding mix, and optional sweetener to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours.
3. Insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and run the ice cream or lite ice cream setting.
4. If the texture is crumbly, add 1 tablespoon milk or extra protein shake and run a re-spin cycle.
5. Make a small hole in the center and add the chopped strawberries and crushed graham crackers.
6. Run the mix-in cycle until the fruit and crumbs are folded through the ice cream.
7. Scoop into a bowl and serve right away.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften before blending so the base turns out smooth.
Freeze the pint completely flat for the best texture after spinning.
Use the re-spin cycle with a small splash of liquid if the first spin looks dry or crumbly.
