Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, peanut butter powder, sugar substitute, and gaur gum into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a 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 (like sand), pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. If the ice cream looks like little balls of ice cream, respin without adding liquid. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Dig a well down the center of the ice cream and pour in the chopped peanut butter cups down the center of the hole. Process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Can a different type of milk be used for this recipe or does it need to be almond milk?

You can use any type of milk or non-dairy milk that you would like. Since this recipe was tested with almond milk, you don't need to worry about other milks providing an icy texture as almond milk tends to be a more difficult milk to get the texture right with.

Can regular peanut butter be used instead of powdered peanut butter for this recipe?

Regular peanut butter tends to make a softer ice cream and you will need more of it than if you are using the powder. The powder has a more concentrated flavor. So, you can use regular peanut butter, but the results will not be quite as good.
