Cuisine: American
Calories: 490

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Milk (skim or Fairlife)
  • 120 g Cottage cheese
  • 24 g Monk fruit sweetener
  • 6 tbsp Powdered peanut butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Xanthan gum
  • 18 g Marshmallow creme Added during Mix-In cycle

Method
 

  1. Add the milk, cottage cheese, monk fruit sweetener, powdered peanut butter, vanilla bean paste, salt, and xanthan gum to a high-speed blender container.
  2. Process on high until completely smooth with absolutely no residual cottage cheese curds remaining.
  3. Pour the blended mixture directly into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and place flat in the freezer for 16 to 24 hours.
  4. Remove the frozen pint and run the outer plastic walls under warm running tap water for 60 seconds to temper the icy outer layer.
  5. Place the pint into the outer bowl assembly, attach the lid, and run the machine on the Lite Ice Cream cycle.
  6. Inspect the spin; if dry or crumbly, add a single tablespoon of milk to the center and run the Re-spin cycle.
  7. Use a butter knife to create a clear vertical channel down the center of the ice cream and pack the marshmallow creme into it.
  8. Re-lock the pint assembly into the machine and run the Mix-In cycle to fully swirl the marshmallow throughout.

Notes

Fluffernutter Protein Ninja Creami Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: This Creami should spin thick and creamy, not light and fluffy. The dense cottage cheese base replicates the rich body of hard-scoop dairy ice cream once processed through the dual-drive system.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping cottage cheese for Greek yogurt will make the flavor significantly tangier and cut down on the baseline sweetness of the peanut powder. Using non-dairy milks like almond milk will produce an icier texture due to the lower protein and solid content.
STORAGE NOTE: Creami leftovers will freeze solid again in the freezer and require a complete re-spin to restore their texture. Keep in mind the marshmallow creme ribbons will blend deeper into the base flavor upon processing a second time.
SERVING TIP: Top your final spun pint with a small sprinkle of coarse sea salt or a few crushed graham cracker crumbs to introduce a crunchy contrast to the gooey marshmallow ribbons.
