Vanilla/Caramel Protein Ice Cream

I searched after a ice cream recipe who wasn't full of fat, low in calories and high in protein and found a ice cream recipe made of egg whites and protein powder. YES, just those two ingredients could actually create a big amount of ice cream. 

As you probably now by now (if you now me) I LOVEEEE caramel and vanilla flavor. I'm more the caramel girl than the chocolate girl actually. So anyway, I added some dates for the caramel flavor and bam, this absolutely yummy ice cream was created. Simple, low in calories, low fat, low carbs (if you don't use dates), few ingredients.

Vanilla/Caramel Protein Ice Cream

(Whole ice cream weight is around 275g, recipe is for 2 bigger portions    |    High in protein, low fat, gluten free, banana free, refined sugar free) 

Ingredients for ice cream: 

60g vanilla flavoured whey protein powder

6 egg whites (2 dl) 

3 tbsp powdered stevia (isn't necessary to use in the recipe)

Ingredients for caramel flavour: 

50g fresh dates (around 4-5 dates) 

Splash of water

Alternative 5 caramel stevia drops 

Method caramel:

Put the dates in a mixer and mix until a sticky paste is created. You maybe need to take up the dates and drop while the mixer is on if you have a big mixer. Add a splash of water so it becomes a thick caramel sauce. Start with the ice cream.

Method ice cream: 

Pour the egg whites in a big bowl and beat until really fluffy and hard with an electric hand mixer. Can take up to 10 minutes. It's really important that they become as fluffy as they need to otherwise you wont get the ice cream texture. 

When they are fluffy enough slowly add the protein powder and stevia and stir together slowly and carefully with a spoon. 

When combined add the 'caramel sauce' and stir it in like a swirl and if you choose to use caramel stevia drops add these as well. 

Put the ice cream covered with plastic (for the non ice-freezer taste) in the freezer over the night. 

Toppings alternative: 
Walnuts, almonds, pecans, granola, coconut sugar, coconut flakes, berries and fruit.

Note: BE CAREFULLY when you stir because if the egg whites lose their fluffyness the ice cream wont be ice cream..
