Ingredient Notes

Milk
Milk acts as the base liquid. Dairy milk provides a richer texture, while almond milk or other plant-based options create a lighter version. The fat content will directly impact creaminess.

Vanilla Protein Powder
This is the core of the high-protein content. Choose a high-quality protein powder with a smooth texture. Whey protein creates a creamier consistency, while plant-based protein may require extra blending.

Sugar-Free Pudding Mix
This ingredient is key for texture. It helps thicken the mixture and gives the ice cream a creamy, scoopable consistency without adding extra fat.

Sweetener
You can adjust sweetness based on your preference. Erythritol or monk fruit keeps it low-calorie, while honey or maple syrup adds a more natural sweetness.

Vanilla Extract
Enhances the cake batter flavor and adds depth to the ice cream.

Almond Extract
This is the secret ingredient for that authentic “cake batter” taste. Use sparingly, as it has a strong flavor.

Salt
A small pinch enhances all flavors and balances sweetness.

Sprinkles
Adds visual appeal and texture. Use high-quality sprinkles that don’t bleed color excessively.

Greek Yogurt (Optional)
Adds creaminess and boosts protein content. It also improves texture, making the ice cream smoother.

Serving Instructions

Serve immediately after spinning for the best soft-serve texture. Scoop into bowls or cones and top with:

• Extra sprinkles
• Whipped cream
• Crushed cookies
• White chocolate drizzle

For a more indulgent presentation, serve in a waffle cone bowl or layered dessert glass.

Tips

• Always freeze the base completely flat for even processing
• Use high-quality protein powder for better taste and texture
• Don’t skip the pudding mix—it’s essential for creaminess
• Re-spin multiple times if needed for a smoother texture
• Add mix-ins only after the initial spin
• Adjust sweetness before freezing, not after

Storage Information

Freezer:
Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami container with a lid for up to 1 week.

Re-Spinning:
Before serving again, re-spin to restore creamy texture.

Avoid Freezer Burn:
Keep the surface smooth and tightly sealed.
