Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup Fairlife skim milk
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
Dry Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener
- ½ teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Fairlife skim milk, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, monk fruit sweetener, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly to prevent ice crystals and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours for the mixture to solidify.
- Process the Ice Cream: Remove the frozen mixture and let it soften at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes, making it easier to blend. Use a blender or food processor to blend the mixture until creamy and smooth, resembling soft serve ice cream.
- Add Mix-Ins: Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning. Drizzle the melted chocolate into the blended ice cream.
- Incorporate Mix-Ins: Add the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups to the ice cream and pulse the blender a few times gently to mix the chocolate and peanut butter cups evenly without completely blending them.
- Serve or Freeze: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve consistency. For a firmer texture, return it to the freezer for additional chilling until desired firmness is reached.
Notes
- For best results, make sure to use a high-speed blender or food processor to achieve a smooth ice cream texture.
- The sugar-free vanilla pudding mix helps thicken the ice cream while keeping it low in sugar.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more monk fruit sweetener according to personal taste.
- This recipe can be easily customized by swapping Reese’s with other favorite mix-ins like nuts or berries.
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly before blending to avoid damaging your blender and to achieve creaminess.
- This ice cream is best consumed within a week if kept in the freezer.
