Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream
Who loves pumpkin pie? If you said yes, then you are going to LOVE my Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream!
It is low in calories and PACKED with protein keeping you full and satisfied for HOURS!
Here is what you will need:
- Ninja Creami ice cream maker, order one HERE
- Fairlife caramel protein shake
- Simply Delish vanilla pudding mix, order HERE
- Dak’s Pumpkin Spice seasoning, order HERE use code CHEFALLIE
- Vanilla extract or vanilla paste, HERE is the paste I use
- Salt
- Animal cookies, I use the kind from Aldi
- Fat free whipped cream
- Cinnamon
- Mini blender (optional), HERE is the one I use
Here is the amazing Ninja Creami that makes all the best protein ice cream recipes I share and is TOTATLLY worth it!
This little blender is great, small and is a beast. Order one right HERE if interested. Blending the ice cream base definitely helps with combining the pudding mixture.
I personally ONLY like this brand for my ice cream recipes. They always come out so smooth, creamy as well as ZERO protein aftertaste flavor.
Simply Delish is the only pudding mix I like to use. They are an amazing company and is also plant-based pudding mix. If you’d like to try them out order HERE.
You can certainly use any pumpkin puree but DO NOT USE pumpkin pie filling.
Again, you can use any kind of pumpkin pie spice. I personally LOVE Dak’s Spices and they are like family to me. If ever interested, please use CODE:CHEFALLIE at Dak’s Spices.
Vanilla bean paste really brings out the vanilla flavoring and is so delicious. You can also use vanilla extract instead. I order this one right from amazon HERE.
Here is how to make it:
- First place the protein shake, pudding mix, vanilla, salt , pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin into the blender. This step is optional, but it makes sure that pudding mix is completely combine.
- Pour mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container
- Place into freezer overnight
- Once ready to make, remove from the freezer
- Place the pint into the Ninja Creami bowl with the lid and blade attachment
- Press the “light ice cream” mode 3-4 times or until it is nice and smooth/creamy looking
