How to Nail the Perfect Creamy Protein Ice Cream Base

The secret? Use a quality vanilla protein powder, unsweetened pumpkin puree, and a touch of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and tang. Blend in pumpkin pie spice and a hint of maple or vanilla extract for that unmistakable seasonal flair. Let your base chill and freeze completely in the Ninja Creami pint container before spinning—the result is thick, ultra-creamy, and bursting with fall flavor!

Assembling Your Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream (Ninja Creami Recipe)

Once your base is frozen solid, simply use the “Ice Cream” setting on your Ninja Creami. If the texture’s a bit crumbly after the initial spin, add a splash of unsweetened almond milk and respin for that irresistible creaminess. Serve as is, or top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, crushed graham crackers, or a dollop of light whipped cream.
