Pour the protein shake, pudding mix, and caramel syrup into a small blender and blend together until the pudding mix is completely combined with the liquids. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.
Process the Ice Cream
After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
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.
Pour the no-bake sugar cookie pieces and Werther's Original pieces down the center of the ice cream and then process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!
Notes
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 but 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 extra ice cream so you get a little bit of the sugar cookie dough in every bite!!
