    This recipe was made using the Ninja™ Creami

    Caramel white chocolate mocha protein ice cream does not have the flavors of hot chocolate, it's a coffee-flavored ice cream with hints of caramel and white chocolate flavors added in with some extra texture that comes from the caramel chips. Since caramel and white chocolate flavors go so well with coffee, it makes sense that it would taste awesome as an ice cream too!

    I really love the taste of coffee, although I NEVER drink a hot cup of coffee. I tend to go a little heavy on the espresso powder because I really want that coffee flavor to stand out. If you prefer a milder coffee/espresso flavor, you can use less instant espresso powder, or even coffee powder instead of the espresso powder. Instant coffee is less intense in flavor than instant espresso powder, so the ice cream will have a milder coffee flavor.

    Something to keep in mind is that instant coffee and instant espresso powder do have caffeine in them. So, you might want to indulge in this treat a little earlier in the day or use decaf instant espresso powder if you can find it.

    Do you need to brew espresso to make espresso ice cream?

    No, you don't need to brew any espresso shots or coffee to make espresso ice cream. Instead, you can use instant espresso powder. It works really well and provides a strong coffee flavor. If you were to brew coffee or a shot of espresso, there would be a high water content and it would not only dilute the flavor of the ice cream, but it would also make it rather icy.

    Some folks like to use premade bottled iced coffee drinks, but those usually have a high water content as well. I suppose you could use a premade bottled frappuccino that you can buy at the grocery store since they usually already have cream and sugar added.

    Something I started doing recently is chopping up the chocolate chips BEFORE adding them to the ice cream as mix-ins. And, I'll be honest here...it's way better! I'm never turning back! When you chop up the chocolate chips, not only does it make it much easier on your teeth to chew them, but it also helps incorporate a little chocolate throughout the ice cream instead of just having several bigger chunks! If you aren't chopping your chips, give it a try!

    Tips for making Ninja Creami Caramel White Chocolate Mocha Protein Ice Cream

    How do I add more flavor to protein ice cream?

    Protein shakes tend to lose some of their flavor when you eat them as ice cream. Taste the mixture before freezing and if the mixture tastes bland or just isn't strong enough, add in skinny syrups, flavor extracts like vanilla or almond, fruit, or add cookies or candies as mix-ins.

    Why chop up the chocolate chips?

    Chopping up the chips will make it easier on your teeth and will help the chocolate get mixed throughout the ice cream instead of just having several bigger chunks. It's definitely worth the extra little bit of effort that it takes. I don't recommend putting the chocolate chips in a blender as they will basically turn into chocolate powder.

    What do I do if my ice cream is not creamy in the Ninja Creami?

    If your ice cream is not creamy after you have processed it once, pour in a little bit of liquid, about a tablespoon or two of milk or non-dairy milk, and then respin it. It should come out nice and creamy. You may have to complete this process twice.

    Is white mocha white hot chocolate?

    No. White mocha is not a hot chocolate drink. It's a coffee drink that also has the flavors of white chocolate added in. But, the base is coffee and therefore tastes more like coffee than hot chocolate.

    Do you need an espresso machine to make espresso for ice cream?

    No. You don't need to brew any coffee or espresso to make ice cream. Instead, use instant coffee or instant espresso powder. It's very easy to find at any grocery store and it's time-saving since you just scoop it right out of the jar. The result will be a more intense coffee flavor and a creamier texture than you would get from using brewed coffee.

    Can I use protein powder to make ice cream in the Ninja Creami?

    Yes! You can. However, you would need to drastically change the recipe if it's made using the shake. To use protein powder, you would need to eliminate the shake from the recipe and instead use protein powder, liquid (almond milk), and extra flavor through extra syrup, extract, or flavor oils.

    Ingredient substitutions and tips for making Ninja Creami Caramel White Chocolate Mocha Protein Ice Cream:


    The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.
    Sugar and dairy substitution suggestions can be found here.

    Caramel Protein Shake- I used a salted caramel flavored premier protein shake but you can use any caramel protein shake that you would like. Just taste the shake before adding to the mixture to make sure you like the flavor of it.

    Sugar-Free White Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix- You can use pudding mix that has sugar in it if you would like. If you don't like white chocolate, use regular chocolate instead.

    Instant Espresso Powder-Do not use brewed espresso or coffee. You can use decaf instant espresso powder or instant coffee if you would like. For a milder coffee flavor, use instant coffee instead of instant espresso powder.

    Sugar-Free Salted Caramel Chocolate Chips (Chopped)- If you prefer you can use a chocolate bar that is chopped up.

    Optional
    Unsweetened Almond Milk- Any dairy or dairy substitute can be used. You may not need it. If the ice cream is dry and crumbly after processing, you'll need to add a tablespoon or two of liquid.

    3. After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.

    4. Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."

    5. If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then respin. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.

    6. Pour the caramel chips down the center of the ice cream and then process on mix-ins.

    Notes

    Can you taste the salt in the salted caramel protein shake?
    Maybe if you were to drink the shake on its own. But, when the protein shake is made into ice cream, the flavor becomes more mild. The salt flavor does not stand out.
    Can I use protein powder to make ice cream in the Ninja Creami?
    Yes! You can. However, you would need to drastically change the recipe if it's made using the shake. To use protein powder, you would need to eliminate the shake from the recipe and instead use protein powder, liquid (almond milk), and extra flavor through extra syrup, extract, or flavor oils.
