Ingredients

🥛 1 cup of skim milk (or any other milk of your choice)
🍫 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder
🥜 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
🍯 2 tablespoons of honey
🍫 1/2 cup of chopped Snickers bars
🍦 1 cup of light cream
🍫 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
🧂 A pinch of salt

Directions

Gather all your ingredients. Roughly chop the Snickers bars and peanuts; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, honey, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Slowly pour in the light cream while continuing to whisk, ensuring everything is thoroughly mixed.
Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars and peanuts, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Seal the lid securely.
Place the pint container in your freezer. Let it freeze solid, ideally for 24 hours.
Once frozen, insert the pint container into your Ninja Creami. Select the “Ice Cream” function and let the machine work its magic.
After the cycle completes, check the consistency. If it’s too soft, run the “Re-spin” cycle for a smoother texture.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.

Tips for the Creamiest Snickers Chocolate Protein Ice Cream in Your Ninja Creami

Freeze the base without the Snickers and peanuts. Candy pieces frozen into the block can be hard on the blade and turn into rock-hard bits. Add them after spinning with the MIX-IN setting instead.
Whisk the protein powder and cocoa into the milk a little at a time. A small milk frother or blender gets rid of lumps that would freeze into chalky spots.
Keep the light cream in. That small amount of fat makes a big difference in how creamy a protein ice cream feels.
Chill the Snickers bars before chopping. Cold candy cuts into neat pieces instead of smearing caramel on your knife.
Expect a powdery first spin on LITE ICE CREAM. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) of milk and RE-SPIN until smooth.
For extra Snickers flavor, swirl 1 tablespoon of warm caramel sauce or peanut butter into the hole made by the MIX-IN cycle.

Troubleshooting

Chalky texture: Some protein powders dry out when frozen. Add a splash of milk and RE-SPIN, or try a whey and casein blend.
Ice cream is rock hard: Skim milk and protein freeze very firm. Let the pint sit out for 10 minutes before spinning, or swap part of the skim milk for whole milk.
Mix-ins sank to the bottom: Make a hole down the middle of the spun ice cream before adding the candy, then run MIX-IN.
Chocolate flavor is weak: Use a Dutch-process cocoa and add a tiny pinch more salt. Salt makes chocolate and peanuts taste richer.

Storage and Serving

This ice cream tastes best on the day you spin it. To keep leftovers, smooth the top, put the lid on the pint, and freeze for up to 1 week. The Snickers pieces get very firm in the freezer, so RE-SPIN the pint with a splash of milk before serving again. The candy pieces will break up a bit more, which many people enjoy.

Top each bowl with a few extra chopped peanuts and a thin drizzle of caramel or melted chocolate to make it look like a candy bar sundae.

Snickers Chocolate Protein Ice Cream FAQ

What protein powder should I use?

A chocolate whey or whey and casein blend gives the smoothest result. Chocolate peanut butter flavored protein is also a great match for this Ninja Creami Snickers Chocolate Protein Ice Cream.

Can I use a different candy bar?

Yes. Chopped Milky Way, Twix, or peanut butter cups all work well. Keep the amount to about 1/2 cup (around 75 g) so the mix-ins do not overload the pint.

Can I make it lower in sugar?

Use fun-size bars and cut the amount in half, and swap the honey for a sugar-free syrup. The texture may be firmer, so plan on an extra RE-SPIN.

Which setting is best?

Use LITE ICE CREAM for the first spin, since protein bases are lower in fat. Then use RE-SPIN and MIX-IN as needed.

If you love candy bar flavors, Ninja Creami Snickers Chocolate Protein Ice Cream is a fun way to enjoy them in a homemade pint.
