Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter I use PB2
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder ~2 Tbsp.
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla pudding mix
  • mix-ins: Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (3) plus more for garnishing on tops and 1-2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter (like Skippy or Jif), Reese’s Pieces, etc. 

Instructions

  • Mix the base ingredients: add the milk, powdered peanut butter, protein powder and pudding mix to an empty CREAMi™ Pint. 
    1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 Tbsp. vanilla pudding mix
  • 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 your the mini peanut butter cups and creamy peanut butter in the center. Run the mix-in program one time.
    mix-ins: Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (3) plus more for garnishing on tops and 1-2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter (like Skippy or Jif), Reese’s Pieces, etc. 
  • Enjoy: remove the pint and enjoy right away with any more mix-ins on top!
