Ingredients
OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
1 ½ scoops Quest® Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder
1 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Quest Bar
4 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup zero-calorie sweetener
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon hot water
¾ cup oat flour
¼ cup quick oats
4 tablespoons sugar free chocolate chips
ICE CREAM
1 scoop Quest® Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder
2 cups 2% milk
½ vanilla bean pod
¼ cup zero-calorie sweetener
1 egg yolk
Method
OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Blend Quest Bar® into a powder.
- Cream together the butter, sweetener, and powdered Quest Bar® until smooth.
- Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla.
- Dissolve baking soda in hot water.
- Add to batter along with salt.
- Stir in oat flour, Quest® Protein Powder, quick oats and sugar free chocolate chips
- Form into small discs roughly 2½-3 inches in diameter and bake for 5-7 minutes.
ICE CREAM
- Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and some water. Place another, smaller bowl on top of the water, and place a strainer inside. Keep this close by while you make the ice cream base.
- In a mini blender process the sweetener into a powder. Separate the yolk from the egg. Combine the yolks and the sweetener in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and mixture resembles a pale lemon-yellow color.
- In a small pot, add milk with the vanilla (pod and seeds) and bring to a simmer.
- 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.
- Pour milk and egg yolk mixture back into pot and heat on low-medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent yolk from scrambling.
- Cook until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of the spatula and registers 170°F with an instant-read thermometer.
- Strain the ice cream base into the bowl of the ice water bath which will remove the vanilla pod and any bits of egg that may have accidentally curdled.
- Leave the ice cream base over the ice water bath, stirring occasionally, until it’s completely chilled. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Once chilled, whisk in the Quest® Protein Powder and pour ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and let churn for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove ice cream from machine, place in an air tight container, covering the top with parchment to ensure no ice crystals form on top, and freeze for about 2-3 hours.
- Serve immediately.
