What You’ll Need (Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor)
This is just an overview—jump down to the full recipe card for exact amounts and detailed instructions!
- Half and half – Creamy, but not too rich
- PB2 (powdered peanut butter) – Nutty flavor without the heaviness
- Cottage cheese – Helps with protein and a super smooth texture
- Sweetened condensed milk – Sweet, creamy, and keeps it scoopable
- Vanilla extract – Adds a little extra warmth
- Salt (just a pinch) – Enhances the peanut butter flavor
Try These Swaps & Add-Ins
- No half & half? Use equal parts heavy cream + whole milk
- No cottage cheese? Try plain Greek yogurt or silken tofu
- No PB2? Use 2–3 tablespoon of regular peanut butter, but expect a denser result
- Less sugar? Use a low-sugar or sugar-free condensed milk
Let’s Make It in the Ninja Creami
I blend everything up—PB2, half and half, cottage cheese, condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt—until smooth and creamy. Then I pour the base into a Ninja Creami pint and freeze it for 24 hours (always on a level surface).

The next day, I spin it on “Lite Ice Cream” and if it looks crumbly, I just add a splash of milk and respin. Done.

🍒Fun Mix-Ins and Topping Ideas
- 🍫 Mini chocolate chips – Classic PB + chocolate combo that never fails
- 🧁 Crushed peanut butter cookies – Adds crunch and extra peanut flavor
- 🍌 Sliced banana – Peanut butter + banana = Elvis vibes
- 🥥 Toasted coconut flakes – Adds texture and a little tropical flair
- 🍯 Honey drizzle + flaky salt – Sweet, salty, and ridiculously addictive

🤔 Your Questions, Answered!
Yes, just keep in mind it’ll be thicker and more calorie-dense.
No worries—just add 1–2 tablespoon milk and hit respin. It usually fixes it!
PB2 has less fat and fewer calories, but still keeps that peanut flavor.
