How To Make It
- Mix the dry ingredients in the pint. Add the scoop of vanilla whey, a pinch of salt, 0.5g xanthan gum, and 4 tbsp monk fruit / erythritol blend. Mix the dry ingredients together first — this keeps the xanthan gum from clumping.
- Add the wet. Pour in 240ml Fairlife low-fat ultra-filtered milk, 100ml unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/8 tsp peppermint emulsion (skip it if you're not a mint fan — the cookies add enough on their own), and 1 tsp vanilla bean paste for a real-vanilla ice cream feel.
- Blend. Immersion blend for a full 90 seconds — don't skip this. The xanthan gum needs to be blended thoroughly for a true ice cream feel.
- Freeze. Freeze for 24 hours.
- Spin. Run the pint under warm water for 60 seconds, then spin on the Lite Ice Cream setting.
- Mix in. Bore a hole OFF-CENTER (this lets the blade pass without pulverizing your cookies into dust) and add 4 Thin Mint cookies. Run the Mix-In setting.
- Top it. Finish with 1 more Thin Mint cookie and a drizzle of Hershey's simple or sugar-free chocolate syrup, then enjoy.
Neil's Note
Two things make this one: the vanilla bean paste gives the base a real-ice-cream taste with actual vanilla beans in it, and boring the hole OFF-CENTER keeps the Thin Mints in real cookie pieces instead of dust. The peppermint emulsion is optional — the cookies bring their own mint, so start without it if you want it subtle. 38 grams of protein in a whole pint of Thin Mint ice cream.
