Why This Recipe Works
High Protein: Each serving is packed with protein to help fuel your day or recover after workouts.
Low Sugar & Macro-Friendly: Uses sugar-free ingredients while maintaining a rich chocolate flavor.
Creamy & Indulgent: Thanks to the combination of whole milk, almond milk, and a touch of heavy cream, the texture is ultra-smooth.
Customizable: Swap in your favorite protein powder, mix-ins, or toppings to personalize it.
Ingredients
1 cup (225g) whole milk (Fairlife recommended for extra protein)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/4 tsp xanthan gum or 1 tsp sugar-free pudding mix (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
1.5 to 2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 scoop Axe & Sledge Never Ending Chocolate Protein (or protein of choice)
Mix Ins:
2 tbsp Torani Sugar-Free Chocolate Sauce
1 serving Gatsby Chocolate Brownie Bar (chopped)
Instructions
Blend the Base: In a mixing bowl or blender, combine the whole milk, almond milk, heavy cream, pudding mix, cocoa powder, protein powder, and Torani sugar-free chocolate sauce. Blend until fully mixed and smooth.
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Cover and freeze for at least 12-24 hours, ensuring it is solid before churning.
Spin in the Ninja Creami: Remove the frozen base from the freezer, place it in the Ninja Creami machine, and use the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Gelato” setting.
Re-Spin if Needed: If the texture is too icy, add a splash of almond milk and re-spin until smooth and creamy.
Add Mix-Ins: Once the ice cream is creamy, add chopped Gatsby Chocolate Brownie Bar and run the Mix-In cycle.
Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into a bowl, drizzle with additional chocolate sauce if desired, and enjoy!
