Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 spoonful cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chilled espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

Optional Mix-ins

  • Mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Nut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chilled espresso, and your choice of milk into a Ninja Creami pint container.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk or blend the mixture until it is smooth and free from lumps to ensure a creamy texture.
  3. Freeze: Place the pint in the freezer and freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours until it is completely solid.
  4. Process in Ninja Creami: Once frozen, run the pint through the Ninja Creami using the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ or ‘Ice Cream’ setting according to your texture preference.
  5. Adjust Texture: If the ice cream appears dry or crumbly, use the re-spin feature to achieve a creamier consistency.
  6. Add Mix-ins: Incorporate optional mini chocolate chips or nut butter by adding them to the pint and using the ‘mix-in’ feature on the Ninja Creami.
  7. Serve: Scoop the protein ice cream into bowls or cones, serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade mocha espresso protein treat!

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a robust mocha flavor.
  • Milk can be substituted with any dairy or plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, consider adding a natural sweetener such as honey or stevia before freezing.
  • For best results, ensure the mixture is completely smooth before freezing to avoid icy texture.
  • Protein powder flavor can be adjusted to vanilla or mocha for a different twist.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer and allow to soften slightly before serving.
