How to Make Root Beer Float Protein Ice Cream

Step 1: Let the Root Beer Settle

Pour one can of Zevia root beer into your Ninja Creami pint container. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow some of the carbonation to dissipate.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Add the salted caramel protein powder and sugar-free salted caramel pudding mix. Stir or whisk until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Freeze Overnight

Place the pint container in the freezer on a level surface. Freeze overnight, or until the mixture is completely solid.

Step 4: Let It Sit

Remove the frozen pint from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes before processing.

Step 5: Spin Until Creamy

Place the pint in your Ninja Creami and select the Lite Ice Cream setting. Spin two times for hard serve ice cream and three times for soft serve, scraping down the sides between spins as needed, until the mixture reaches your desired creamy consistency.

If the mixture is still crumbly after processing, follow your machine’s instructions for adding a small splash of liquid and using the Re-Spin function.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Scoop into a bowl or enjoy straight from the pint. Your sugar-free Root Beer Float Protein Creami is ready to enjoy!

For a “Hard Serve” Version

Spin twice in your Creami machine instead of 3 times for a “hard serve” version of this ice cream. It will look like this:

Tips for the Best Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream

• Let the carbonation settle. Giving the root beer a few minutes to sit before mixing can help reduce excess fizz.
• Mix thoroughly. Make sure the protein powder and pudding mix are evenly incorporated before freezing to help create a more consistent texture.
• Freeze on a level surface. This helps the mixture freeze evenly and prepares it for processing.
• Don’t skip the resting time. Letting the pint sit for about 5 minutes before spinning can make processing easier.
• Be patient with the texture. Protein-based Ninja Creami recipes sometimes need multiple spins to become smooth and creamy.
• Follow your machine’s guidelines. Use the appropriate processing setting and ensure your frozen base is prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can You Make This Root Beer Float Creami Without Protein Powder?

The protein powder contributes both flavor and texture, so leaving it out will change the final result. For the best outcome, stick with a salted caramel protein powder. If you substitute another flavor, vanilla protein powder is a great alternative for a more traditional root beer float taste.

Can You Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?

Yes! The base needs to freeze overnight, making this an easy dessert to prep in advance. Once frozen, spin it when you’re ready to enjoy it.

If you have leftovers after processing, smooth the surface, return the pint to the freezer, and re-spin according to your Ninja Creami’s instructions when you’re ready for another serving.
