1-First, mix the 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1 tablespoon vanilla pudding mix in an empty pint container until fully combined. This creates a creamy base that’s packed with flavor and nutrition!

2-Next, freeze the mixture in the pint container on a level surface without the lid for 24 hours to get that perfect consistency.

3-After freezing, place the sealed pint container into the outer bowl of your ice cream maker, secure the lid, and lock it onto the machine base. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting and let it spin until done it’s that easy! Once spinning is complete, create a small hole in the center of the ice cream and add the 3 mini peanut butter cups and 1-2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter into the hole, then run the mix-in program once.

4-Finally, remove the ice cream and serve it immediately, garnishing with extra peanut butter cups and optional toppings like chocolate-covered candy pieces if you want! The total time, including freezing, is about 1 day and 5 minutes, but the wait is worth it for this tasty treat.
