One of our favorite ice cream flavors around Christmas is the candy cane ice cream. It is so fun with little bits of the candy cane inside and I love the flavoring as well as the pretty pink color.

I decided to make a healthier version of that, and it came out PERFECT! The ENTIRE pint is 6 WW points and only 221 calories.

Here is what you need:

Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker
Fairlife vanilla protein shake
Red or pink food coloring
Vanilla extract or paste
Peppermint extract
Simply Delish vanilla instant pudding mix
Salt
Candy cane or peppermints
Sprinkles (optional)

Here is the AMAZING Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker. Gran yours HERE at the Ninja website with code CHEFALLIE15 fort 15% off or HERE on AMAZON

Here are the food colorings I use for so many things. This set comes with red and pink that works great for this ice cream. Grab yours HERE.

This is the BEST vanilla extract I get from a wholesale club. The price is great, and quality is also wonderful.

Here is the peppermint extract I get from Amazon. Grab it HERE

Simply Delish is my favorite brand to use for instant pudding mixes. I also have a code for a discount on the site. Use code CHEFALLIE at Simply Delish.

You can use candy canes and break them up, candy cane pieces or the small peppermints. Either way, they all work.

Here is how to make it:

Place all of the ice cream base ingredients into the Ninja CREAMi pint.
Once all combine place into the freezer for 24 hours
After 24 hours, place the pint into the Ninja CREAMi bowl
Press the “light ice cream” button 2-3 times until creamy
Once creamy, take the crushed candy candys and sprinkles and place into the center of the ice cream
Press the “mix-in” button until mixed together
Enjoy!
