Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

This Ninja Creami cookies and cream ice cream starts with a sweet, protein-rich vanilla base. Then, we add the perfect ratio of Oreo cookies, and blend it all up for an easy dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth and keeps you full! 

Love your Creami? Try our chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, pumpkin pie ice cream, and cake batter ice cream, too! 

Just when we thought we couldn’t be more obsessed with our Creami, we came up with yet another flavor that we cannot get enough of. Cookies and cream is a classic, and this recipe comes together with four ingredients and over 50 grams of protein. We prep a pint a day ahead of time. Then, we blend it up in minutes, and it tastes just like the classic ice cream! 

Ingredients and Notes

Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the complete details! 

• Milk – We use whole milk or 2% for a rich flavor and creamy consistency. However, fat-free Fairlife milk may be substituted for the 2%, with little difference in texture. Substitute dairy-free milk if needed. We recommend a higher-fat milk like cashew milk.
• Protein Powder – We use The Peachie Spoon cookies and cream whey protein powder. (Use code: HappiHomemade to save at checkout!) However, any vanilla whey protein will also work. The cookies and cream flavor just won’t be quite as strong. 
• Collagen – Yonder collagen is our go-to. (Use code: HappiHomemade to save at checkout!) 
• Oreos – A must in any cookies and cream recipe! We use regular Oreos, but you can use any similar cookies. Or, experiment with different flavors. 

How to Make Ninja Creami Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

1. Combine. Place all the ice cream base ingredients in a Creami container, and mix until smooth. We use a stick blender or handheld frother to make sure everything blends evenly! Freeze overnight. 

2. Blend. Thaw at room temperature for a few minutes, and run the Creami twice. Add the mix-ins, and run the device again. Enjoy!

Equipment

• ▢
  1 Ninja Creami

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Ice Cream

• ▢ 1 1/2 cups 2% Fairlife milk
• ▢ 1 serving (35 grams) cookies and cream whey protein powder or vanilla protein powder (we use Peachie Spoon, “HappiHomemade” saves at checkout)
• ▢ 1 serving (10 grams) flavorless collagen (we use Yonder collagen, “HappiHomemade” saves at checkout)

Mix Ins (optional)

• ▢ 3 Oreos (chocolate sandwich cookies), broken into pieces

Instructions

 

• Place all ice cream ingredients (NOT mix-ins) in a Ninja Creami pint container and mix with a stick blender until smooth. A handheld frother may be used if it has enough power.
  1 1/2 cups 2% Fairlife milk, 1 serving (35 grams) cookies and cream whey protein powder or vanilla protein powder, 1 serving (10 grams) flavorless collagen
• Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours (see notes). Freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream. However, sometimes this happens no matter what.
• Remove the pint from the freezer and let it thaw for 10 minutes at room temperature or run the sides of the container under warm water for 1-2 minutes. If the top of your ice cream is not flat, scrape down any bumps or uneven texture with a knife (see notes).
• Place the pint in the outer bowl of the Creami and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the Creami motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
• Select the Lite Ice Cream function two times. You will need to unlock and lock the Creami bowl in between the two cycles.
• If adding mix-ins, use a spoon to create a small hole in the center, about 1½ inches wide. Place the crushed cookies in the center. Lock the lid into place and select the Mix-In function.
  3 Oreos (chocolate sandwich cookies), broken into pieces
• Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Ingredient Tips – Fat free Fairlife milk may be substituted for the 2%, with little difference in texture. Vanilla protein powder may be substituted for the cookies and cream flavor, but you must add at least 3 Oreos as mix-ins to achieve the intended flavor. 

Prep Tips – Don’t overfill the pint container. The ice cream will expand in volume as it spins so don’t worry if it looks like the pint isn’t initially full. While 24 hours is the typical time frame for freezing your pint, once you’re familiar with the process, you can experiment with shorter freezing times and adjust as needed. Depending on freezer temps, you may only need 12-18 hours. If a hump forms on the top of your ice cream while freezing, shave down the bump or unevenness with a knife before processing. Your machine can be ruined if the ice cream is not flat on top. 

Mix-in Tips – Break the cookies into smaller pieces. The Creami will not crush them small enough in Mix-In mode.
