Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the Fairlife milk, almond milk, pudding mix, cocoa powder, sweetener, salt, and xanthan gum.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 1 minute until all powders are dissolved and the liquid begins to slightly thicken.
  3. Stir in half of the crumbled Nutty Bar pieces into the liquid base.
  4. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and freeze on a level surface for at least 12 hours (24 hours is ideal).
  5. Remove the pint from the freezer and process on the 'Lite Ice Cream' setting. If it looks crumbly, add 1 tbsp of almond milk and select 'Re-spin'.
  6. Once creamy, use a spoon to create a hole in the center. Add the remaining Nutty Bar crumbles and press the 'Mix-In' button.

Nutty Bar Protein Ice Cream Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE/MOUTHFEEL: This ice cream is designed to be thick and slightly elastic, mimicking premium gelato. If it feels too light or airy, you likely over-whisked the base before freezing; stick to 60 seconds of whisking.
STABILIZER WARNING: Do not skip the xanthan gum or pudding mix. Without these, the low-fat content of the milk will result in a flaking, icy texture that won't hold its shape once it begins to melt.
THE MELLOWING EFFECT: This pint actually tastes better if you let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes after the final 'Mix-In' spin. This allows the frozen wafer pieces to slightly soften into the chocolate base, creating a better flavor harmony.
PRO FINISHING TOUCH: Serve this in a chilled bowl. Because this is a high-protein, low-fat recipe, it melts faster than traditional ice cream. A cold bowl keeps the structural integrity longer while you enjoy the crunch.
