Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream
This Ninja Creami peanut butter ice cream is smooth, creamy, and packed with real peanut butter flavor. Made with just 4 ingredients, it's an easy homemade frozen treat that's lighter than traditional peanut butter ice cream.
Servings: 3
Equipment
- Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups milk at least 2%, I recommend Fairlife
- 2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix sugar-free or regular
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter or peanut butter powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2-1 tbsp maple syrup optional, taste test before freezing
Optional
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder if you'd like a higher protein option
- peanut butter cups, chocolate syrup, whipped cream or melted peanut butter for drizzling.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or directly in the Ninja Creami pint container, combine milk, pudding mix, peanut butter, vanilla extract (and maple syrup if adding). Whisk vigorously or use an immersion blender to combine the ingredients until smooth.
- Freeze the mixture in the pit container for at least 24 hours.
- Once frozen, put the pint container into the Ninja Creami machine. Press the "Lite Ice Cream" button.
- After the first spin, press the re-spin button two additional times for the creamiest texture.
- Add mix-ins if desired and use the "Mix-in" function. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Re-spin. If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, use the Re-Spin function. Lower-fat Ninja Creami recipes often need 2-3 spins to become completely smooth and creamy.
- Use creamy peanut butter if possible. Creamy peanut butter creates the smoothest texture, but natural peanut butter can also be used.
- Add mix-ins. Mix in chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, or peanuts after spinning using the Mix-in function.
- Serve immediately. This recipe tastes best immediately after spinning, when the texture is the creamiest.
