The Ultimate High-Protein Ninja Creami Recipes
Stop wasting your macros on generic supermarket tubs and suffering through powdery protein puddings. The Ninja Creami is the ultimate cheat code for hitting your daily targets without feeling miserable. Here are my top high-protein Creami recipes. Minimal prep, serious volume, and exactly the velvet texture you'd expect from a premium gelato. Engineered to support your gains.
Why this The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga) recipe works
Perfect Texture: Whey protein helps bind it together. When frozen and shaved by the Creami blade, it stabilises the ice crystals in the milk, replicating the dense, velvety mouthfeel of heavy cream.
Flavour Enhancement: Soaking the raisins in the dark rum plumps them up and locks the intense boozy flavour deep inside the fruit, releasing it as you chew.
Variations and combinations of ingredients
Spiced Rum: Swap the dark rum for a heavily spiced rum to add notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
Nutty Addition: Fold in crushed walnuts alongside the raisins during the mix-in phase for extra crunch.
How to serve
Sweet Fuel: Spot-on macros disguised as a premium dessert.
Late-Night Fix: Highly satiating to kill evening cravings while enjoying a classic pub-style flavour.

The Macro Science
Macro Friendly: Premium ice cream satisfaction for a fraction of the calories and a massive protein spike.
Customisable: You control every gram of sugar. Perfect for strict cuts.
Natural Softener: The dark rum added to the ice cream base not only adds authentic flavour but chemically improves the freeze structure.
Creami Mechanics
Patience is Mandatory: Freeze the pint completely level for 24 hours. A slanted freeze will destroy your Creami blade (it will violently catch and snap).
The Re-Spin Secret: High-protein bases always come out powdery on spin one. Add a splash of milk and hit 'Re-spin' to force that gelato texture.
Alcohol Science: The alcohol in the dark rum lowers the freezing point of the ice cream. This naturally prevents it from turning into a rock-solid block of ice, contributing to a much softer, scoopable texture right out of the machine.
Mix-In Magic: Core the centre and use the mix-in function to evenly distribute the rum-soaked raisins.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Enjoy this straight out of the pint. Perfect on a weekend evening.
Ingredients for The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga)
How to make The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga)
Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour over the soaking measure of dark rum. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to plump up.
Add the milk, vanilla whey, honey, vanilla extract, and the base measure of dark rum into a blender. Blitz aggressively until completely smooth with no lumps.
Pour the blended mix into the Creami pint. Do not cross the 'Max Fill' line.
Freeze on a perfectly flat surface for 24 hours. A slanted freeze will wreck the machine (the blade will catch and snap).
Lock the frozen pint into the Creami outer bowl.
Hit the 'Lite Ice Cream' button and let it run.
If it looks powdery (standard for macro ice creams), add a splash of milk and hit 'Re-spin' to force the creamy texture.
Hollow out the centre, drop in your rum-soaked raisins (draining any excess liquid if preferred), and run the 'Mix-In' program. Demolish immediately.
Storage and Freezing for The Ultimate Ultra-Creamy Rum and Raisin Ninja Creami (Malaga)
Smooth the top level, lid it, and put it back in the freezer. Just re-spin it on 'Lite Ice Cream' when you want it again.
