Lazy genius move right here, this Fairlife Chocolate Shake Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami is just a bottle of Fairlife chocolate shake and a scoop of sugar-free chocolate pudding mix, frozen and spun. Two ingredients, no measuring, and it comes out shockingly creamy and scoopable. I made it on autopilot one night and my brother accused me of buying a premium pint. The pudding mix is the trick, without it the shake freezes too icy. Pour it straight into the pint, freeze 24 hours, spin, and re-spin with a splash of milk if needed. Easiest one I make.
How it spins
Tip: freeze the pint on a level shelf for a full 24 hours. If the first spin looks crumbly, add a splash of milk and run Re-spin.
Ingredients
- Fairlife Chocolate Protein Shake14 oz
- Sugar-free Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix1 tbsp
- Mini Chocolate Chipsoptional2 tbsp
Directions
- 1Whisk the Fairlife shake together with the pudding mix until smooth.
- 2Pour into a Creami pint, staying below the max-fill line.
- 3Freeze the pint flat for about 24 hours.
- 4Spin on the Lite Ice Cream preset.
- 5Re-spin if the result is crumbly rather than creamy.
- 6Add the chocolate chips and run the Mix-In program.
Tips
- Freeze your pint completely solid for a full 24 hours before spinning; 16 hours works but 24 gives the creamiest result from the Creami.
- If your result comes out icy or crumbly after processing, add a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream and re-spin immediately for a smoother texture.
- Chill your serving bowl or cup in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving so your finished ice cream stays frozen longer.
Variations
- Swap the Fairlife Chocolate for Fairlife Vanilla and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mix before freezing for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of crushed chocolate cookies, chocolate chips, or brownie chunks after spinning to add texture and depth.
- Use Fairlife's vanilla shake with sugar-free vanilla pudding mix instead, then drizzle the finished product with chocolate syrup.
FAQ
- Can I use regular chocolate pudding mix instead of sugar-free?
- Yes, but it will be sweeter and may affect the texture slightly when frozen. The sugar-free version is designed to freeze more smoothly, so start with that and adjust to your taste preference next time.
- My pint didn't freeze solid after 24 hours, what went wrong?
- Your freezer may be warmer than ideal, around 0°F or above. Try letting it sit for an extra 12 hours, or check that your freezer is set to keep food properly frozen at negative degrees.
- Can I make this lighter or lower in calories?
- Yes, use the lite ice cream setting on your Creami instead of the regular ice cream program, which will process it into a fluffier, airier texture with fewer perceived calories per serving.
- How long does the frozen pint last before I need to use it?
- It stays good in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, though it spins best within the first week. If it gets too hard, let it sit out for 2-3 minutes before running it through the Creami.
