Protein ice cream is simply traditional ice cream enriched with protein powder . We'll use whey protein as the main ingredient. Whey protein is made from milk whey and is readily available in supermarkets, sports nutrition stores, and online retailers.
This ice cream is also lower in sugar than traditional ice cream, making it an excellent choice for those watching their calorie intake and looking to increase their protein consumption, such as athletes .
To make this protein ice cream, we'll prepare a base that includes the basic ingredients of traditional ice cream with the addition of whey protein, available in a wide variety of flavors. You can use any protein flavor you like to completely customize it. You can also substitute the whole milk in the recipe with any other milk or plant-based milk of your choice.
We can also personalize it by adding fruit or nuts to make it more nutritious. Furthermore, we can omit the erythritol and replace it with any sweetener of our choice. The customization options for this ice cream are limitless!

How to make protein ice cream
We'll start by mixing 350 ml of cold heavy cream and 350 ml of cold whole milk in a bowl. Instead of whole milk, you can use any other type of milk or plant-based milk to taste.
We add 120 grams of whey protein powder and 30 grams of erythritol. We mix very well until no protein remains unintegrated.
We transfer our mixture to the ice cream maker and churn the ice cream according to the machine's instructions. If we don't have an ice cream maker, we put the mixture in a covered container that's freezer-safe. We put the mixture in the freezer and, every 30 minutes, we take it out and beat it vigorously with a whisk or a fork. We repeat this process four more times to achieve a creamy ice cream.
When our ice cream is ready, we transfer it to a freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze it for at least 4 hours.
To enjoy it with its perfect texture, remove it from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, you can serve it with fresh fruit or nuts to taste.
