Ingredients

VANILLA ICE CREAM

 

1 ½ scoops Quest® Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder

1 cup 2% milk

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 vanilla bean pod

¼ cup zero-calorie sweetener, powdered

1 egg yolk

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

1 scoop Quest® Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder

1 scoop Quest® Multi-Purpose Mix Protein Powder

1 Rocky Road Quest Bar®

½ cup zero-calorie sweetener

1 egg

4 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons almonds, chopped

2 ½ tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon hot water

¾ cup oat flour

 

Method

ICE CREAM

  1. Prepare a medium bowl and place a strainer inside. Keep this close by while you make the ice cream base.
  2. In a mini blender process the sweetener into a powder. Separate the yolk from the egg. Combine the yolk and the sweetener in a medium-mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and mixture resembles a pale lemon-yellow color.
  3. In a small pot, add milk with the vanilla (pod and seeds) and bring to a simmer.
  4. Remove simmered milk from stove and slowly pour about ¼ cup into the egg-sweetener mixture while whisking. This warms the eggs and prevents them from curdling in the next step.
  5. Pour milk and egg yolk mixture back into pot and heat on low-medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent yolk from scrambling.
  6. Remove from heat and whisk in the Quest® Protein Powder. Whisk until mixture is smooth.
  7. Strain the ice cream base into the bowl, which will remove the vanilla pod and any bits of egg that may have accidentally curdled.
  8. Pour ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and let churn for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Remove ice cream from machine, place in an airtight container, covering the top of the ice cream with parchment or plastic wrap to ensure no ice crystals form on top, and freeze for about 2-3 hours.
