Peanut butter is the friendliest flavor in the protein category — it brings its own fat, so this pint spins plush without a drop of cream. Two tablespoons of the real stuff carry the flavor while ultrafiltered milk and a scoop of whey push the whole tub to 41 grams of protein. Skip powdered peanut butter here: it drinks the base and spins chalky. Whisk until the peanut butter fully melts into the milk, freeze flat, and plan on one respin. The finished pint tastes like the frozen top of a peanut butter pie — salty-sweet, dense, and scoopable at 450 calories a tub.

Steps
Whisk the peanut butter into the milk in a medium bowl until no streaks remain — about 60 seconds. Warm the peanut butter for 10 seconds in the microwave first if it fights the whisk.
Whisk in the protein powder, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved.
Pour into the CREAMi pint and freeze upright on a level shelf for 24 hours.
- Spin: ICE CREAM
Process on ICE CREAM. Expect a crumbly first pass — protein bases almost always look dry before the respin.
- Spin: RE-SPIN
Add 1 tbsp milk and RE-SPIN if the texture is crumbly, stopping as soon as it holds soft-serve ridges.
If it comes out crumbly: respin
If the first spin looks crumbly, add 1 tbsp milk and RE-SPIN. Peanut butter bases firm up quickly once scooped, so serve right away or refreeze the pint for 10 minutes for scoopable balls.
Still icy after the respin? The icy-fix guide has all seven fixes.
Scaling to your machine
For the 24 oz Deluxe tub (NC501), multiply every ingredient by 1.5 — that's 3 tbsp peanut butter — and spin on the Deluxe ICE CREAM setting. On Scoop & Swirl (NC701), the same base works — spin on ICE CREAM, then use SWIRL to ripple in extra peanut butter.
FAQ
Can I use powdered peanut butter instead of regular?
You can swap the 2 tbsp of regular peanut butter for 3 tbsp of powdered peanut butter plus 1 extra tbsp of milk, but expect an icier, thinner-flavored pint. The fat in real peanut butter is doing the creaminess work here, so keep it if you can.
Is this recipe keto-friendly?
No. Milk plus a tablespoon of sugar puts the tub at 22 grams of sugar — this pint is built for the high-protein crowd, not keto. The keto chocolate pint elsewhere in this catalog is the low-carb pick.
How do I get firm scoops instead of soft-serve?
Protein bases freeze firm quickly. After the respin, refreeze the pint for 10–15 minutes for scoopable balls; any longer and you'll need one more RE-SPIN before serving.
