Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, adjust for desired consistency)

Optional Mix-Ins and Variations

  • Fresh or frozen berries (for Berry Blast variation)
  • 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder or sugar-free chocolate chips (for Chocolate Lover’s Dream)
  • Mango or pineapple chunks (for Tropical Paradise)
  • Chopped nuts or spoonful of nut butter (for Nutty Crunch)
  • Cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice (for Spiced Delight)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese curds are completely broken down to avoid any grainy texture.
  2. Pour and Freeze: Pour the smooth mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze it for at least 24 hours to achieve the perfect consistency.
  3. Process in the Ninja Creami: Attach the frozen container to your Ninja Creami and select the “Ice Cream” function to churn the base into creamy ice cream. Use the “Re-spin” function if the texture is too icy or crumbly after the first spin.
  4. Add Mix-ins (Optional): After the initial spin, create a small well in the center of the ice cream and add your chosen mix-ins like berries, nuts, or chocolate chips. Then select the “Mix-in” function to incorporate them evenly.
  5. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately for the freshest texture or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Use full-fat dairy products for richer, creamier results.
  • Freeze the ice cream base for a minimum of 24 hours for optimal texture.
  • Adjust sweetener type and quantity based on your taste preferences.
  • Re-spin the ice cream if needed to improve consistency.
  • Blend cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth base to prevent graininess.
