2 Tablespoon Sugar-Free Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
¼ Teaspoon Strawberry Extract

½ Cup Fresh Strawberries Chopped
½ Graham Cracker Broken into pieces-½ of 1 whole graham cracker or 4 small graham crackers

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the strawberry protein shake, pudding mix, and strawberry extract 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 fresh strawberries and graham crackers down the center of the ice cream and then process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

How to make strawberry cheesecake protein ice cream sweeter?

I don't add any sweetener to this recipe because the protein shake and strawberries make it just sweet enough. But if you taste it before freezing and want it to be a little sweeter, you can add in sugar, a sugar substitute, honey, or even maple syrup.

Why do you freeze Ninja Creami ice cream without the lid?

Many have found that freezing the ice cream without the lid helps reduce the bump that sometimes gets created during the freezing process. While this may work sometimes, it does not always work.
