High Protein Ninja Creami Oreo Ice Cream Tips & Expert Strategy

MOUTHFEEL & TEXTURE: This ice cream should feel dense and creamy, similar to a premium gelato. If it feels like shaved ice, you likely need to add a touch more cottage cheese or use a protein powder with more casein.
WHEY VS CASEIN: Swapping a blend for 100% whey will result in a much thinner, icier result. Casein is hydrophobic and absorbs the liquid, creating the 'body' of the ice cream.
THE MELLOWING EFFECT: While best eaten immediately after spinning, the flavors actually meld better if the base sits in the fridge for 30 minutes before the initial 24-hour freeze.
PROFESSIONAL FINISH: For the best experience, serve in a chilled bowl. Because this is a high-protein, low-fat treat, it melts slightly faster than traditional ice cream containing heavy cream.
