Ingredients

Servings

Milk

300 ml
Protein

60 G
Cocoa powder

30 G
Erythritol

20 G
Xanthan gum

0.5 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Pour 300 ml of milk (natural low-fat or vegetable milk with your favorite flavor) into a deep bowl.

If you love the perfect creamy ice cream flavor, add a little Dr. Oetker's Vanillin Intensive mix to the mixture; for a bright vanilla flavor, use vanilla extract.

Step 2

Add 60 grams of whey protein and sweetener to taste (erythritol or stevia).

If you want to make sugar-free chocolate ice cream, adjust the recipe slightly at this step by using 30 grams of protein and 30 grams of cocoa powder.

Step 3

Add 0.5 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the mixture.

Step 4

Beat the mixture with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Step 5

Place in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.

When the healthy homemade ice cream has cooled enough around the edges, remove the bowl, carefully loosen the frozen edge, and beat again with a mixer until smooth.

Step 6

Repeat the freezing procedure for 30-40 minutes and whipping 2-3 more times.

As the mixture cools, it will thicken. In the final stage, your ice cream, made completely without sugar, should look like the photo.

Step 7

Transfer the finished mixture into a storage container and place in the freezer for another 3-4 hours to completely cool.

Step 8

Our delicious and healthy sugar-free ice cream is ready! Next, decorate it beautifully for serving.

Chocolate PP ice cream is no less delicious; the recipe for it differs only in that instead of 60 grams of protein, 30 grams of cocoa powder + 30 grams of protein are used.

Store finished vanilla and chocolate ice cream in the freezer, tightly sealed. It's important to keep in mind that the mixture easily absorbs any foreign odors, which can ruin the taste and aroma of the dessert if stored improperly.

The shelf life of ice cream made with regular milk is 1 week. However, if you used plant-based milk, the product can be stored for up to 1.5 months.
