Strawberry Shortcake Custard Ice Cream
This strawberry shortcake custard ice cream is summer dessert perfection. It’s creamy, dreamy, and packed with sweet berry flavor and buttery shortcake crunch in every bite. But here’s the best part - it’s secretly packed with protein and made from ingredients like egg yolks and milk for that luxurious, velvety texture you’d expect from a homemade French ice cream.

Ingredients
Custard Ice Cream:
- 480 ml Nonfat Milk (Whole Foods)
- 62 g Vanilla Protein Powder (Quest)
- 4 Egg Yolks (Vital Farms)
- 12 g Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix (Simply Desserts)
Mix-Ins:
- 110 g Strawberries (cubed)
- 30 g Graham Crackers (Honey Maid)
Instructions
Custard Ice Cream:
- In a medium size pot, pour in your milk and protein powder. Whisk well until majority of all clumps are gone.480 ml Nonfat Milk, 62 g Vanilla Protein Powder
- Place on medium heat and let it come to a slow boil while continuously whisking. Roughly 4-5 minutes later, milk should be thick and creamy and coat the back of a spoon.
- In a mixing bowl, separate your egg yolks and whisk together with your pudding mix.4 Egg Yolks, 12 g (¼ box) Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
- Then slowly start to pour in the milk mixture as you continuously whisk to temper the eggs rather than scramble them.
- Continue to slowly add more egg and continuously whisk until you have poured in all of it. It will be a thick and creamy consistency.
- Keep mixing until it is smooth without any lumps. Pour into your Ninja Creami container (refer to the How To on alternative instructions).
- Place in an ice bath to let it chill and cook for roughly 30 minutes. Then add the lid and freeze overnight.
Spin:
- When ready to eat, I take the container out and let it thaw for about 15 minutes. Then add to your Creami machine and spin ‘Full’ on ‘Ice Cream’ mode. Do a ‘Re-Spin’ if the texture is too crumbly.
Mix-Ins:
- Create a hole in the center and add in your fresh strawberries and crushed graham crackers. Spin on ‘Full’ with the ‘Mix-Ins’ mode now.110 g (1 cup) Strawberries, 30 g (2 pieces) Graham Crackers
- You should have a creamy custard ice cream ready to scoop and enjoy!
