Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base:

  • 6 fl oz unsweetened almond milk
  • 5.3 oz zero sugar key lime pie yogurt
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 tbsp Swerve granulated sugar substitute (allulose blend)
  • 1½ tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 2 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
  • ¼ tsp guar gum

Mix-ins:

  • ½ graham cracker (broken into pieces)

Optional:

  • 12 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (for re-spinning, if needed)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. In a blender or mixing bowl, combine almond milk, yogurt, protein powder, sugar substitute, lime juice, vanilla bean paste, food coloring (if using), and guar gum. Blend until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Freeze

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the MAX FILL line. Freeze flat on a level surface for at least 24 hours. For best results, freeze without the lid to prevent bumps from forming on top.

Step 3: Process

  1. After freezing, place the pint in the Ninja Creami machine and process using the “LITE ICE CREAM” setting. If crumbly or dry, add 1–2 tbsp almond milk and re-spin until creamy.

Step 4: Add Mix-ins

  1. Create a well in the center of the ice cream and add graham cracker pieces. Process using the “MIX-IN” setting to incorporate them evenly.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in bowls or cones with whipped cream and lime zest for garnish.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Taste and adjust sweetness before freezing if needed.
  • If the ice cream looks like tiny balls after spinning (like Dippin’ Dots), re-spin without adding liquid for smoother texture.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in the pint container with an airtight lid for up to one week in the freezer.
  • To enjoy later, let the pint sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before re-spinning on “LITE ICE CREAM.”
