If you love coconut desserts but still want something creamy, high in protein, and easy to make, this Coconut Cream Ninja Creami Ice Cream is worth putting in the freezer. If you have a Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker (paid link), this is one more delicious way to put it to work.
This recipe starts with Greek yogurt and Fairlife fat-free milk, then gets its coconut flavor from an individual packet of Clean Simple Eats Coconut Cream Protein Powder. A little sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix adds richness and gives the ice cream that delicious coconut-cream-cheesecake flavor.
It comes together in just a few minutes and is ready to spin whenever you’re craving something cold and creamy.

How to Make Coconut Cream Yogurt Ninja Creami Ice Cream
1. Blend the Base
Add the Greek yogurt, Fairlife milk, Clean Simple Eats Coconut Cream Protein Powder, monk fruit sweetener, cheesecake pudding mix, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
Use an Immersion Blender (paid link) until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
2. Freeze
Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami Container (paid link), making sure you stay below the MAX FILL line.
Place the lid on the pint and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
3. Spin
Remove the pint from the freezer and process using the Lite Ice Cream setting.
If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, add 1 tablespoon of Fairlife Fat-Free Milk to the center and use the RE-SPIN function.
4. Enjoy
Once it’s creamy and smooth, it’s ready to serve.
A Little Coconut Cream Cheesecake Magic
The Clean Simple Eats Coconut Cream Protein Powder gives this ice cream its main coconut flavor, while the cheesecake pudding mix adds a little extra richness and tang.
The result is a creamy dessert that tastes like a cross between coconut cream pie and cheesecake—without requiring a long list of ingredients.
And because this is a Ninja Creami recipe, you can keep a pint in the freezer and have a homemade frozen treat ready whenever the craving hits.

Blooming Harbor Tip
Don’t be afraid to adjust the sweetness to your own taste. The combination of monk fruit, protein powder, and Greek yogurt can taste different depending on the brands you use.
I recommend tasting the blended base before freezing and adjusting the sweetener if needed.
