Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine one scoop of chocolate protein powder and a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder in a Ninja Creami pint. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Pour in chilled espresso or cold brew coffee and stir gently, then vigorously, until smooth.
  3. Slowly add milk while whisking to achieve a rich, creamy texture.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the Ninja Creami pint, seal tightly, and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  5. After freezing, process the mixture in the Ninja Creami using the 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Ice Cream' setting.
  6. If the texture is crumbly after the first spin, re-spin until reaching a smooth consistency.
  7. Stir in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or peanut butter if desired.
  8. Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately, or store back in the freezer for later.
