Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (e.g., Swerve)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Substitutions:
- Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a nut-free option.
- Replace Swerve with allulose or monk fruit sweetener.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
Instructions
Combine heavy whipping cream, almond milk, frozen blueberries, softened cream cheese, sweetener, and protein powder in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and blueberries are fully pureed. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—it should be slightly sweeter than desired as freezing dulls sweetness.
Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours or overnight.
Remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami machine. Attach the processing lid and select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting. After one cycle, check the texture. If powdery or crumbly, re-spin once or twice more until smooth. If needed, add a tablespoon of almond milk to achieve a creamy consistency during re-spinning.
Spoon the creamy ice cream into bowls and enjoy immediately! Smooth out any leftovers in the pint container to prevent freezer burn before resealing and storing in the freezer.
Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Garnish with fresh blueberries or crushed keto cookies for added texture.
- Pair with a warm keto-friendly crumble or almond flour shortbread cookies for an indulgent treat.
Tips & Tricks:
- Soften cream cheese before blending for a smoother texture.
- Taste-test the mixture before freezing to ensure desired sweetness level.
- Re-spin ice cream if it becomes too firm after freezing leftovers.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in the same pint container for up to two weeks. Smooth out the surface before sealing to minimize air exposure.
- To serve again, let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before re-spinning in the Ninja Creami for optimal texture.
