π©βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Base β‘οΈ In a container or blender, combine your milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.

Final Result β‘οΈ You should now have a thick, “soft-serve” consistency that holds its shape on a spoon, just like in the video! π¦β¨
β Common Questions & Answers
Q: Can I make this without a machine? A: β‘οΈ It is difficult to get this exact “fluffy” texture without a high-speed creamery machine, but you can blend the frozen cubes in a powerful food processor for a similar “nice cream” result.
Q: Why is my mixture crumbly? A: β‘οΈ This usually happens if the base is very cold or low in fat. Simply adding a tiny bit of liquid and re-spinning always fixes it! π§ͺ
Q: Can I add “mix-ins” like chocolate chips? A: β‘οΈ Yes! After the final spin, make a hole in the middle, add your chips or crushed cookies, and use the “Mix-in” setting on your machine. πͺ
