When you think about Thanksgiving, what comes to mind? For me, it’s a packed house, the sound of laughter, and a table so full you can barely see the tablecloth. The turkey might be the star, but we all know the real magic is in the sides.
And among all the amazing Thanksgiving Food Sides, there’s one dish that always steals my heart: a classic sweet potato casserole. This isn’t just any recipe. It’s the one that balances sweet and savory, creamy and crunchy. It’s one of those essential Thanksgiving Recipes that makes the meal complete.

Requirements
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a Ninja Creami pint container, combine the protein shake, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt. Add optional guar gum or pudding mix for extra creaminess.
- Mix with a frother or whisk until the base is completely smooth with no clumps.
- Secure the lid and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours until solid.
- Place the frozen pint into the machine and process using the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ setting.
- If the texture is crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk or shake and use the ‘Re-Spin’ function.
- If desired, create a well in the center, add mix-ins, and use the ‘Mix-In’ function to combine. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Taste the base before freezing and adjust sweetener if needed. Frozen desserts tastes less sweet, so aim for slightly sweeter than you prefer.
Do not fill the pint past the max fill line, as the mixture will expand during freezing and processing.
A full 24-hour freeze is essential for the best, creamiest texture. Rushing this step can result in an icy or soupy consistency.
Feel free to experiment with other flavors like vanilla protein with frozen berries or adding mint extract for a mint-chip version.
