Instructions

Prepare the ice cream base: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, powdered peanut butter, milk, and sweetener. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Freeze the mixture: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it does not exceed the max fill line. Seal the container with the lid and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours until fully frozen.
Process the ice cream: After freezing, remove the container from the freezer and attach the Ninja Creami paddle. Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine and select the 'Ice Cream' function to process the base into a creamy texture.
Add mix-ins: Remove the processed pint, create a small well in the center, and add the mini chocolate chips. Reinsert the pint and select the 'Mix-in' function on the Ninja Creami to evenly distribute the chocolate chips without breaking them down.
Serve and garnish: Once mixing is complete, scoop the ice cream into serving bowls. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired and enjoy immediately.

Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while preserving the peanut flavor.
The sweetener is optional and can be adjusted according to taste.
Ensure the ice cream base is fully frozen for optimal creaminess in the Ninja Creami.
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based protein powder and milk alternative.
Store leftovers in the freezer and reprocess with the Ninja Creami before serving.
