Equipment

1 Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
1 Immersion Blender

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream

100 grams 2% cottage cheese 1/2 cup
1 scoop vanilla whey isolate about 30-35 grams depending on brand
20 grams powdered peanut butter like pbFit (2 tbsp + 1 tsp)
1 tablespoon granulated allulose
2 tablespoon sugar free toffee flavor syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 cup skim milk or unsweetened coconut milk up to 1 1/4 cup if needed

Chocolate Protein Ice Cream

100 grams 2% cottage cheese about 1/2 cup
50 grams chocolate whey isolate protein powder about 1.5 scoops
12 grams black cocoa powder about 1.5 tbsp
2 tablespoon granulated allulose
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 cup skim milk or unsweetened coconut milk up to 1 1/4 cup if needed

Instructions

Start by making the peanut butter flavor. Put all ingredients into a pint container and blend with an immersion blender.
Grab a second pint container and pour half of the peanut butter mixture into the second pint cup. Each cup should be close to half full, but it doesn't have to be perfect.
Put a lid on each container and freeze on a level surface in your freezer for 24 hours.
Next, make the chocolate mixture by combining all of the chocolate ice cream ingredients into a jar or bowl and blending them. Put this mixture into the refrigerator until the base layers are frozen enough.
When frozen, pull the two peanut butter pint containers out of the freezer and remove the lids. Divide the chocolate mixture evenly over the top of each. Place the lid back on each and stick them back in the freezer for 24 hours.
When ready to eat, pull one of the pints from the freezer and install in the Ninja Creami machine per the instructions for your model. Spin on "Lite Ice Cream." When the spin completes, remove the pint and check the texture. If needed, put the pint back in the machine and press the "Re-Spin" button. Do not add liquid, and try not to do more than one re-spin for the best swirl results.
Enjoy! See notes for more tips regarding the swirl.

Notes

For best results regarding the flavor swirl, I recommend freezing the lighter color/flavor on the bottom. You can put it on top if needed, but expect more color blending if you do.

For best results, do not add any liquid at the re-spin, and do not do more than one respin.

If you don't finish it all in one sitting, flatten the top of the ice cream and re-freeze. You can re-spin it on lite ice cream when needed, but I can't guarantee the color swirl will make it through another round.

You can also heat the pint container in the microwave for 30 seconds to make it easier to eat with a spoon without re-spinning.
