Perfect Pumpkin Ice Cream Texture with the Ninja Creami

The Ninja Creami is uniquely effective at turning high-protein, lower-fat mixtures into truly creamy ice cream. By blending your base, chilling, and then letting the Creami do the work, you create a dessert with great scoopability—no icy or chalky textures here. If you like extra “pie” flavor, add crushed graham crackers or a sprinkle of cinnamon right before serving.

Customize Your Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream

Choose your favorite protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen) and use almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk to suit your dietary needs. You can toss in mix-ins like chocolate chips or toasted pecans after spinning for crunch. Keeping it high-protein and lower sugar helps make this recipe a year-round nutritional win.
