Description

A rich, creamy, high-protein dessert that combines the bold flavor of coffee with the smoothness of vanilla protein shake and a cookie crunch. Perfect as a guilt-free dessert or post-workout treat.


Ingredients

400 ml ready-made vanilla protein shake

2 tbsp vanilla instant pudding mix (such as Angel Delight)

2 tsp instant coffee granules

68 mini chocolate sandwich cookies (for mix-ins)


Instructions

  1. Pour the vanilla protein shake, instant pudding mix, and instant coffee granules into a freezer-safe tub.
  2. Whisk everything together until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Seal the tub with a lid and freeze for 24 hours.
  4. Once frozen, remove the lid and churn the mixture using the Lite Ice Cream setting on an ice cream machine (e.g., Ninja CREAMi).
  5. Create a 4 cm hole in the center of the churned ice cream and add the mini cookies.
  6. Use the Mix-In setting to blend the cookies into the ice cream.
  7. Scoop and serve immediately, optionally topping with extra cookies.

Notes

Swap vanilla protein shake for chocolate or caramel for flavor variations.

Use chocolate pudding mix for a mocha twist.

Stir in chopped nuts or peanut butter instead of cookies for mix-ins.

Use decaf instant coffee granules for a caffeine-free version.

Store leftovers in the freezer and reprocess before serving for best texture.
