Caramel ice cream loaded with chunks of sugar cookie dough and pieces of Werther’s Original candies? Yes please!!! This Ninja Creami caramel cookie supreme protein ice cream is creamy, sweet, and tastes like a no-bake sugar cookie wrapped up in caramel ice cream with 30 grams of protein in the ENTIRE pint.

If you love cookie dough ice cream, this one is for you. The caramel protein shake base gives you that smooth caramel flavor without having to use a ton of caramel sauce, and the no-bake sugar cookie dough chunks mixed in taste just like eating raw sugar cookie dough straight from the bowl. With the Werther’s Original pieces added in too, every bite has caramel ice cream, soft cookie dough, and a little bit of caramel candy crunch.

The no-bake sugar cookie dough is what makes this Ninja Creami recipe so good. I use the kind that is sold as safe to eat raw, which you can usually find in the refrigerated section near the regular cookie dough at your grocery store. The cookie dough pieces stay soft after mixing in, so every spoonful gives you these chewy chunks of sugar cookie dough that taste just like the real thing.

If you can’t find no-bake cookie dough at your grocery store, you can make raw cookie dough safe to eat at home. The two main concerns with regular cookie dough are raw flour and raw eggs. To make it safe, use a recipe that has no eggs (cookie dough doesn’t actually need them) and heat-treat your flour first by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for about 7 minutes, or microwaving it in 30 second bursts until it reaches 165°F. Let the flour cool completely before mixing it into your dough.

The Werther’s Original candies add the perfect little bit of crunch in every bite. They stay hard after mixing in, but since you break them up into small pieces ahead of time, they are not hard on your teeth at all. They give you that sweet caramel flavor that pairs so well with the caramel protein shake base and the sugar cookie dough chunks throughout the ice cream.

The sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding mix is doing the heavy lifting on the texture in this recipe. It acts as a thickener that keeps the ice cream creamy and smooth instead of icy, and it adds a hint of cheesecake flavor that pairs really well with the caramel and sugar cookie dough. Make sure to use INSTANT pudding mix and not cook-and-serve, since cook-and-serve won’t thicken without being heated.

Tips for making Ninja Creami Caramel Cookie Supreme Protein Ice Cream

Do the Werther’s Original candies stay hard when mixed in with the ice cream?

They do! But since they are broken up into small pieces before adding them in the mix-in process, they are not hard on your teeth. Instead, they provide a sweet, caramel flavor with a little extra crunch.

Do the sugar cookie pieces stay whole or break up during the mix-ins process?

The sugar cookie pieces do get broken up a little during the mix-ins process since they are so soft. But it’s a good thing because the sugar cookie dough gets mixed in with the ice cream so you get a little bit of the sugar cookie dough in every bite!

How do I make regular cookie dough safe to eat raw?

Use a recipe with no eggs and heat-treat the flour first by baking it on a sheet pan at 350°F for 7 minutes or microwaving it in 30 second bursts until it hits 165°F. Let the flour cool completely before using it, and the cookie dough will be safe to eat without baking.

Can I use baked cookies instead of cookie dough?

Yes! Crumbled baked sugar cookies will work great in place of the cookie dough chunks if that’s what you have. The texture will be a little different (more crunchy than chewy), but the flavor will still be amazing.

Can I use a different flavor of protein shake instead of caramel?

Yes, vanilla protein shake will work and the caramel syrup and Werther’s mix-ins will still give the ice cream plenty of caramel flavor. If using a vanilla shake, add a little extra caramel syrup. If you use a flavored protein shake other than caramel or vanilla, just know that the flavor will compete with the caramel and cookie dough, so stick with one of those two for the best results.

Ingredient tips and substitutions

The full ingredient list is at the bottom of this post in the recipe card.

Ingredients for Ninja Creami caramel cookie supreme protein ice cream including caramel protein shake, cheesecake pudding mix, sugar cookie dough, and Werther's candies
  • Caramel Protein Shake: Any of your favorite caramel protein shakes will work in this recipe, and if you don’t have one, use the same volume of your milk of choice mixed with vanilla protein powder plus a little extra caramel syrup, adjusting the flavor and sweetness based on what you use (a splash of vanilla extract can help round out the flavor).
  • Sugar-Free Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix: Make sure to use INSTANT pudding mix only, not cook-and-serve or premade pudding, and regular pudding mix with sugar in it works fine if that’s what you have.
  • Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup: This is the thin coffee syrup that you add to drinks, not the thick caramel topping, and any brand of sugar-free or regular caramel coffee syrup works as a substitute.
  • No-Bake Sugar Cookie Dough: Make sure to use cookie dough that is safe to eat raw (the kind found in the refrigerated section that is specifically labeled as safe to eat without baking), and if you can’t find it, you can make your own at home by heat-treating the flour and leaving out the eggs (or crumbled baked sugar cookies work as a substitute too).
  • Sugar-Free Werther’s Original: Regular Werther’s Originals will work in place of the sugar-free version, just break them into small pieces before adding them down the center of the pint so they aren’t hard on your teeth.
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk (Optional): This only gets used if the ice cream looks dry or crumbly after the first spin, and any dairy or non-dairy milk works in its place like whole milk, 2% milk, heavy cream, coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or Fairlife milk (the higher the fat content, the creamier the texture).

Directions for Making the Ice Cream Mixture

Step by step process for making the Ninja Creami caramel cookie supreme protein ice cream mixture

  • Can You Use Generic or Knock-Off Ninja Creami Containers?

    This question comes up constantly in the Ninja Creami community. Can you use generic or knock-off containers? Here’s the honest answer, along with what I found when I actually measured them myself and where to find the real ones. Can you use generic or knock-off Ninja Creami containers? Technically, yes. Generic containers CAN work. But they can also cause the containers to get scratched, or cause the machine to malfunction. And using non-Ninja approved accessories can void your warranty. So yes, you can use knock-offs. But at your own risk. Many people swear that their Temu or Amazon third-party containers […]

  • Can You Use Ice in the Ninja Creami?

    One of the most important rules for keeping your Ninja Creami safe is this: no ice. That means no ice cubes, no crushed ice, and no pure frozen water. Here’s what that actually means, what counts as ice, and why water as part of a recipe is a completely different thing. Can you use ice in the Ninja Creami? No. You cannot put ice cubes or crushed ice into the Ninja Creami container. Pure water frozen alone is essentially ice and has the same problem. The machine is not designed to process ice and doing so can damage the paddle […]

  • How to Get Rid of Ice on the Outside of Ninja Creami Ice Cream

    Sometimes a layer of ice forms around the inside walls of the Ninja Creami container during freezing, sitting between the outer edge of the frozen base and the container. If that ice gets mixed into the ice cream when you process it, it can affect the texture and make it icier than it should be. Here’s how to fix it so that the ice cream is creamy instead of icy. Why does ice form around the outside of the frozen base? When the base freezes, moisture from condensation or from the base itself can collect between the frozen mixture and […]

  • When to Use Re-Spin vs. Processing on Ice Cream Again in Ninja Creami

    Re-Spin and the Ice Cream function on the Ninja Creami are not interchangeable. Using the wrong one at the wrong time will not give you the result you’re looking for and can even damage your machine. Here’s exactly when to use each one. What is the difference between Re-Spin and processing on Ice Cream? Ice Cream (and other processing functions) are designed to process a frozen solid base. Re-Spin is designed to further smooth a base that has just been processed, but came out with a texture that isn’t quite right. They are two different functions for two different situations. […]
