Prepare the base

  1. Add the milk, yogurt, whey protein isolate, pistachio paste, skim milk powder, honey, vanilla extract and salt to a blender.

  2. Blend until the base is completely smooth and the pistachio paste is fully incorporated.

Freeze and spin

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint, without exceeding the MAX FILL line.

  2. Close with the storage lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.

  3. Once fully frozen, run the CREAMIFIT program.

    No CREAMIFIT? Use LITE ICE CREAM instead.

  4. If the texture is powdery or crumbly after the first cycle, run RE-SPIN.

    Still not right after re-spinning? See how to fix the texture .

Serve

Serve immediately, while the ice cream is still nice and creamy.

Storing leftovers

Flatten any remaining ice cream to level the surface before returning the pint to the freezer. This will make the next spin easier and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine. Learn more about after-serving habits.

Tips

  • Use 100% pistachio paste, not sweet pistachio spread.
  • If your protein powder is already very sweet, reduce the honey to 10 g.
  • For a stronger pistachio flavor, increase the pistachio paste to 25 g and reduce the milk by 5 ml.
  • For more texture and a stronger pistachio bite, add 8 g crushed pistachios after spinning and use the MIX-IN program.
