Cookies & Cream Protein Ice Cream (Ninja® CREAMi® Recipe)
Craving cookies & cream ice cream but still trying to hit your protein?
This recipe uses Polar Protein to create a thick, creamy ice cream with a real dessert texture using just a few ingredients. No pudding mix. No weird stabilizers. No 12-step process that makes you question your life choices.
Just add milk. Freeze. Spin.
🥄 Step 1: Add Your Base & Freeze
In your Ninja Creami pint container, mix:
- 2 scoops of Polar Protein – Vanilla ice cream powder mix
- 1 to 1¼ cups (250–300 mL) of milk
(Fairlife® recommended for extra protein and creaminess)
Stir until fully dissolved and smooth.
Seal the lid and freeze for 12–24 hours until solid.
❄️ Step 2: Spin & Process
Once fully frozen, place the pint into your Ninja Creami:
- Use “Lite Ice Cream” mode (Original/Swirl/Deluxe)
- If crumbly → add a splash of milk and re-spin
You’re looking for a smooth, creamy texture. Not powdery. Not icy.
🍪 Step 3: Add Your Mix-Ins
For that classic cookies & cream texture:
- Add 2–3 crushed Oreo cookies into a small centre well
- Use the “Mix-In” function
Optional upgrades (if you’re feeling a little extra):
- Add chocolate chips
- Drizzle melted chocolate
- Sprinkle extra cookie crumbs on top
🍦 Step 4: Enjoy
Scoop and enjoy immediately for a soft-serve texture
—or freeze an extra 30–60 minutes for a firmer scoop.
