Ingredients
  

Cereal Milk Base
  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles 72g
  • 2.5 cups 0% milk 20 oz
  • 1 cup cottage cheese non fat
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder 30g
  • 2 Tbsp sugar-free white chocolate Jello pudding mix 14g
  • 1/2 tsp liquid stevia or sweetener of choice to taste
To Mix-In
  • 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles 36g, divided
  • 1-2 Tbsp milk or cream as needed

Method
 

  1. To make the cereal milk, add 2 cups of Fruity Pebbles and 2.5 cups of milk to a pitcher or large glass. Stir vigorously and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Drain the milk through a fine-mesh strainer. Depending on the size of your strainer you may need to work in batches. Use a spoon to press the cereal down and help get the milk through, no need to press excessively though, you should get about 1.5 cups of cereal milk from it.
  3. Add the cereal milk to a blender. Add 1 cup cottage cheese, the protein powder, pudding mix and sweetener. Blend until completely smooth. Taste to see if it’s sweet enough for you and add more sweetener as needed.
  4. Pour into two empty Creami pints. Freeze for 12-24 hours.
  5. When ready to enjoy, run the sides under hot water for 1 minute to defrost. Then run through the gelato cycle.
  6. Use a knife to scrape along the sides and remove any ice. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cream or milk if powdery or too thick. Run through the light ice cream cycle.
  7. Make a well in the center and add 2 Tbsp (18g) fruity pebbles. Run through the mix-in cycle. Respin as needed to desired consistency. Sprinkle more fruity pebbles on top and enjoy!

Notes

Fruity Pebbles Ninja Creami Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: This Creami should spin thick and creamy, not light and fluffy. Blending the cottage cheese base completely flat is key to getting a premium custard-like finish.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping cottage cheese for Greek yogurt will make the final ice cream tangier and slightly cover up the sweet cereal milk flavor.
BETTER LATER / STORAGE NOTE: Creami leftovers will freeze solid again once stored in the freezer. Simply run the pint through a re-spin cycle next time to restore the perfect creaminess.
SERVING TIP: Top with a handful of fresh, dry Fruity Pebbles right before serving to get a satisfying crunch in every single spoonful.
