A quick and easy creamy protein ice cream made with just protein powder and full-fat coconut milk, perfect for a healthy, guilt-free dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) high-quality protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk, chilled
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Optional mix-ins: mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Chill the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  2. Gather protein powder, chilled coconut milk, mixing bowl, and whisk or electric mixer.
  3. Open the chilled coconut milk can and scoop out about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of thick coconut cream into the mixing bowl. Reserve the liquid for other uses.
  4. Add 1 cup (90g) protein powder to the coconut cream. Add sweetener or flavorings if desired.
  5. Whisk vigorously by hand or use an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe shallow airtight container and spread evenly.
  7. Freeze for 2-3 hours. After 90 minutes, stir well to break up ice crystals and redistribute creaminess. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes if possible.
  8. Once fully frozen, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

Stir the ice cream every 30 minutes during freezing to prevent icy lumps and achieve a creamy texture. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Adjust coconut cream quantity slightly depending on protein powder absorption. Let ice cream soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
