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 smooth and well combined.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 24 hours until fully frozen.
- Process the Ice Cream: Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, blend the softened mixture in a blender or food processor until creamy and smooth.
- Add Mix-Ins: Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate into the blended ice cream.
- Incorporate Reese’s: Add the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups to the ice cream and pulse the blender a few times to evenly distribute the mix-ins throughout the ice cream.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture, or return it to the freezer if you prefer a firmer consistency.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-quality vanilla protein powder to enhance the flavor.
- Letting the ice cream soften slightly before blending is key to achieving a creamy texture without ice crystals.
- The monk fruit sweetener keeps the recipe low in sugar without sacrificing sweetness.
- You can substitute mini Reese’s peanut butter cups with any other favorite nut butter cups or chocolate candies.
- If you want a dairy-free version, swap skim milk with a plant-based milk alternative, but note it might change the texture slightly.
