Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Fairlife skim milk
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener
- ½ teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Fairlife skim milk, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, monk fruit sweetener, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Freeze: Pour the prepared mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 24 hours to ensure it sets properly.
- Process the Ice Cream: Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then, transfer the softened ice cream to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth.
- Add Mix-Ins: Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until fully melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate into the creamy ice cream along with the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups.
- Incorporate Mix-Ins: Pulse the blender a few times to evenly distribute the chocolate drizzle and peanut butter pieces throughout the ice cream without fully blending them in, preserving the texture.
- Serve or Freeze: For a soft-serve style, serve the ice cream immediately. For a firmer consistency, return the mixture to the freezer until it reaches the desired texture before serving.
Notes
- Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature before blending to achieve a creamy texture.
- You can substitute the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups with other mix-ins such as chopped nuts or chocolate chunks.
- Ensure the pudding mix used is sugar-free to keep the recipe low in sugar.
- This recipe works best with Fairlife milk due to its high protein content, but other skim milk can be used as a substitute.
- Use a blender or food processor to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency after freezing.
