Peanut butter Ice Cream is the definition of a guilty pleasure for me. This Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream recipe is slightly sweet, super creamy, and has a rich peanut butter flavor. Not only is there peanut butter in the ice cream base, but I mixed in some crunchy peanut butter as well!

Ninja Creami Peanut Butter Ice Cream

This peanut butter ice cream surprised me at how well it came out! I did have to spin it again at first because it was powdery but the end result was a super creamy ice cream consistency!

If you love peanut butter ice cream, you’ll fall in love with this homemade peanut butter ice cream recipe. It has minimal ingredients and is super easy to make!

For a fun spin on this peanut butter ice cream, try also making a batch of my Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream or 3 Ingredient Keto Strawberry Ice Cream and add one scoop of each into your bowl for a great PB&J flavor!

You can also try making this Chocolate Protein Ice Cream Recipe without Bananas or this Chocolate Protein Ice Cream and have a few scoops of chocolate with your peanut butter for a delicious chocolate peanut butter ice cream bowl!

Why you’ll love this peanut butter ice cream

  • Easy to make – This recipe calls for few ingredients (many of which are likely already in your refrigerator or pantry).
  • Protein-rich Ice Cream – By using Fairlife milk and peanut butter you are upping the protein content in this ice cream – making it that much more satisfying to eat!
  • Healthy dessert option – One serving of this recipe (2/3 cup) is less than 300 calories and has 9g of protein!

Ingredients

  • Fairlife milk – Fairlife is a great high protein, low carb, low fat milk option. And it doesn’t have those funky gums or emulsifiers than can mess with your stomach!
  • Half-and-half or heavy cream – it’s hard to mimic the creaminess you get from half-and-half or heavy cream in ice cream. Keep in mind that this does also increase the calories and fat in the recipe.
  • Peanut Butter – Remember that not all peanut butter is created equal. When choosing which peanut butter to use in this recipe just take a look at the nutrition facts to check on added sugars and other nutrition facts.
  • Vanilla extract – you can use either liquid vanilla extract or you can even use vanilla bean paste for a richer vanilla flavor
  • Stevia extract – I love the convenience of NOW Organic Stevia Extract 
  • Besti Monk Fruit Erythritol Blend – I’ve been loving the Besti Brand Sweeteners. I have a few of them that I alternate between.

Tips & Tricks

Plan ahead! This ice cream takes a full 18-24 hours to freeze before it can be mixed in the Ninja Creami. Be sure to make this recipe the day before you hope to eat the ice cream.

Tools to make this easy peanut butter ice cream

  • Ninja Blender – I absolutely love my ninja blender. Not only can you use it for the obvious like smoothies and shakes, but it works perfect for making the ice cream base as well!
  • Ninja Creami ice cream maker – I honestly am in love with this Ninja Creami. Before I bought these extra Ninja Creami Pints I was using it every day. Now I make ice cream in my Ninja Creami in bulk, doing 4-5 recipes at a time. I opted for those pints because they were about half the price, but be weary if you need them quickly, it took about 3 weeks to get here. They did have some prime options, but I was being thrifty.

How to make peanut butter ice cream in the Ninja Creami

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a blender or mason jar except for the 1 tbsp peanut butter. Blend or shake until the ingredients are well combined.
  2. Transfer the liquid to the Creami ice cream pint and place the lid on. Freeze for 18-24 hours.
  3. Once the ice cream base is completely frozen, remove it from the freezer.
  4. Remove the lid and transfer the pint into the Ninja Creami pint holder.
  5. Place the blade into the lid and then place the lid onto the pint holder.
  6. Lock the ice cream into the Creami and select either the ice cream or soft serve selections.
  7. If after one round of spinning your ice cream is a little dusty in texture and not creamy, select the “spin again” setting.
  8. Next make a hole in the ice cream and drop in your chocolate chips. Next select the “mix in” setting and let that run. After it’s finished remove the pint from the holder and enjoy.

Peanut Butter Nutrition

Peanut butter is not only a delicious addition to many desserts, but it also carries potential health benefits. It is loaded with protein, with 4g per tablespoon, and also contains vitamin E, vitamin B6, magnesium, iron, and selenium.

Substitutions

  • If you are wanting a lower calorie ice cream, you can substitute the heavy cream or half and half with milk. You may lose a bit of the rich, creamy texture – but is still delicious! If you’re looking for some lower calorie – higher protein ice cream try my Chocolate Protein Ice Cream Recipe without Bananas or Ninja Creami Strawberry Ice Cream.
  • If you can’t find Fairlife milk, you can use skim or 1% milk of your choice.
  • You can also use any milk alternative instead of Fairlife milk to reduce the calorie content of this peanut butter ice cream.
  • You may substitute powdered peanut butter in this recipe – just remember that it will absorb some of your liquid so you may need to rehydrate the powder before adding it, or increase the milk in the recipe.

How to store

Store your peanut butter ice cream in the freezer with the lid on. Mine never lasts longer than a few days, but it should last 3 to 6 months in the freezer.

FAQs

How much protein is in peanut butter ice cream?

This recipe uses Fairlife milk which amps up the protein content. One serving of this peanut butter ice cream has 9g of protein.

What is the healthiest peanut butter?

This depends a little on what your health goals are. Take a look at the nutrition facts of your peanut butter of choice and look for things like calories, sodium, and added sugar per serving. Generally speaking, products labeled “natural” are a good place to start but doesn’t guarantee you a “healthier” product.

    I just got a Ninja creami and was looking for a new frozen treat to make. This peanut butter ice cream really hit the spot. I added hot fudge and whipped cream for an amazing sundae.

    This was SO good! I used THM Gentle Sweet, and it was perfect. I love that I didn’t have a carb coma afterward, which I usually do from ice cream. Thanks!
