Steps

1. 1

   Add the fat-free milk, almond milk, butter extract, 30 g protein powder, 15 g cookie-butter powder, pudding mix, sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt to a Ninja Creami pint. Blend with a small hand blender or milk frother until completely smooth and no dry pockets remain.

2. 2

   Place the uncovered or properly lidded Creami pint in the freezer and freeze until solid, preferably overnight. The mixture must be fully frozen before processing.

3. 3

   To make the cookie dough bites, add the 45 g protein powder, 45 g cookie-butter powder, coconut flour, sweetener, and a pinch of sea salt to a bowl. Stir the dry ingredients thoroughly to break up clumps.

4. 4

   Add the Greek yogurt and a small splash of butter extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough.

5. 5

   Use your hands to press and knead the mixture together into a dough ball. Add the mini chocolate chips and mix them evenly through the dough.

6. 6

   Place the dough in the freezer until it cools and becomes less sticky to the touch.

7. 7

   Pull off very small pieces of the chilled dough and roll them into tiny cookie dough balls, making approximately 75 bites. Transfer the finished bites to the refrigerator until needed.

8. 8

   When the Creami pint is frozen, let it stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or briefly run warm water around the outside edges of the pint for about 1 minute to help it release slightly.

9. 9

   Install the pint in the Ninja Creami and run the Lite Ice Cream function. The processed ice cream should be smooth and scoopable.

10. 10

    Make a small well in the center of the processed ice cream. Add the desired cookie dough bites and any remaining chocolate chip mix-ins to the well.

11. 11

    Return the pint to the machine and run the Mix-In function. Process only until the cookie dough bites and chocolate chips are distributed throughout.

12. 12

    Serve immediately and enjoy.
