Ingredients:

- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream – Instructions:
This chocolate peanut butter Ninja Creami protein ice cream recipe is easy to make… All you need is a Ninja Creami ice cream maker and a few basic ingredients. It’s so creamy and delicious that no one will realize it’s a healthy meal.
Gather all the necessary ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for smoother blending.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching or sticking. Remove from heat when small bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, microwave the peanut butter for 30 seconds to make it easier to incorporate into the ice cream base.
- Gradually add the peanut butter to the saucepan while continuously whisking. Make sure the peanut butter is fully blended into the mixture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of the ice cream.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely. You can speed up the process by placing the saucepan in an ice bath.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a Ninja Creami or any other ice cream maker of your choice. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning.
- If desired, add the chocolate chips during the last few minutes of churning. This will provide an extra touch of texture and flavor to the ice cream.
- Once the mixture has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until it hardens to your desired consistency.
- Serve your Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream in bowls, cones, or as a decadent dessert topping!
Useful Tips for Best Results
- Prior to freezing, ensure that your mixture is absolutely smooth. A bumpy base might result in ice textures.
- For the optimum consistency, allow at least 12 hours of freezing. It’s tempting to check early, but patience pays off!
- If the ice cream isn’t as creamy as you’d want after the first Creami cycle, use the Re-Spin cycle with a little more milk.
- Get creative with the toppings! Fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkling of cocoa powder can all enhance your ice cream experience.

FAQs:
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy peanut butter?
Natural peanut butter can be used, but it may result in a slightly different texture due to the absence of stabilizers. Creamy peanut butter provides a smoother consistency.
Can I substitute almond milk for whole milk to make peanut butter chocolate ice cream dairy free?
Whole milk is recommended for its creaminess, but you can experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or coconut milk, to suit dietary preferences. However, the texture and flavor may vary slightly from the original recipe.
Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the ice cream?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your Ninja Creami Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream with your favorite mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even marshmallows for an extra indulgent treat. If you prefer a smoother and creamier ice cream, you can exclude them from the recipe.
Can I double or triple the recipe?
Absolutely! If you want to make a larger batch, you can double or triple the ingredients accordingly. Just ensure that your Ninja Creami or ice cream maker can accommodate the increased volume.
How to store the leftover Ninja Creami chocolate peanut butter protein ice cream?
If you’re like me, you’ll likely devour this ice cream in one go—it’s that irresistible! But if you have leftovers or made a larger batch, fear not. Simply transfer it into a freezer-safe container, ensuring it’s tightly covered to prevent freezer burn. It’ll stay fresh for up to three months, ready to satisfy your cravings whenever you need a sweet fix!
Can I make this chocolate ice cream if I don’t have Ninja Creami?
If you don’t own a Ninja Creami yet, I highly recommend it for its ease of use and the incredibly creamy ice cream it produces. However, if you don’t have one, you can still try using a regular ice cream maker, though the texture may vary slightly.
