What Makes This Ninja Creami Recipe Work

Traditional ice cream relies heavily on sugar and fat for texture. The Ninja Creami creates creaminess through its spinning process, allowing protein-based mixtures to transform into smooth, scoopable ice cream.

Equip Foods Peanut Butter Beef Protein Powder provides rich peanut butter flavor along with high-quality protein that blends smoothly without a chalky texture. Peanut Butter & Co Simply Smooth Peanut Butter adds real roasted peanut flavor and extra creaminess, helping create a more indulgent texture without needing heavy cream. Good Good Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam adds fruity sweetness and creates the classic jelly swirl without added sugar.

The result is a perfectly balanced Peanut Butter and Jelly ice cream that tastes nostalgic but feels modern and macro-friendly.

Tips for the Creamiest Texture

• A crumbly texture after the first spin is normal; Re-Spin for best results
• Adding a splash of milk helps achieve a smoother consistency
• For thicker texture, add 1 teaspoon sugar-free pudding mix before freezing
• Allow the pint to sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before spinning if very frozen

Customization Ideas

• Add crushed peanuts during Mix-In mode for crunch
• Swap strawberry jam for raspberry or mixed berry
• Mix in sugar-free chocolate chips for a PB&J dessert twist
• Use cashew milk for an even creamier base
