Equipment

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix the base ingredients: add the chocolate milk, protein powder, pudding mix of choice, and salt to an empty CREAMi™ Pint.
    1 ½ cups chocolate milk, 2 Tbsp. chocolate protein powder, 1-2 Tbsp. Oreo pudding mix or chocolate pudding mix, pinch of salt
  • Whisk: whisk ingredients together, or I like using a milk frother to incorporate it.

  • Freeze: freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours. (freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream, which can damage the blade, so be sure to leave it off).

  • Assemble: Remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.

  • Spin it! Select Lite Ice Cream. It shouldn’t need another respin.

  • Mix-ins: use a spoon to create a small hole in the center, about 1 ½ inches wide. Place a few Oreo thins in the center. Run the mix-in program one time.

Notes

    • If you find yourself with leftovers, use a spoon to level out the ice cream that is still in the pint container, top it with a lid, and place back in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, spin on lite ice cream.
