Ninja Creami Dairy Free Rocky Road Protein Ice Cream
If Rocky Road is your favorite ice cream flavor but you're looking for a version you can make at home that also helps you reach your protein goals, this Dairy Free Rocky Road ice cream recipe is for you. Made with simple ingredients in the Ninja Creami, so it makes the perfect creamy ice cream that you'd never know was dairy free!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ cup full fat coconut milk
- 2 medjool dates
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
Rocky Road Mix Ins
- 1 tablespoon almonds roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chunks roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Mix the ice cream base. In a blender, add nut milks, dates protein powder, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt & blend until completely smooth.
- Freeze. Pour blended ice cream base into the pint container up to the max fill line. place storage lid securely on top and freeze 8 hours up to 24 hours.
- Make the ice cream. Once frozen, process the ice cream base in your Ninja Creami using the “lite ice cream” function. You will likely need to respin when it is complete & I suggest adding an additional 1-2 teaspoons of almond milk before doing this.
- Add mix ins. After respinning, add in your mix ins, chopping up the almonds & chocolate chunks if necessary. Then process on the “Mix In” function (the creami instructions say not to do this after using “respin, but I tested it out & it works fine! You can also simply mix in by hand).
