Ninja Creami Cottage Cheese Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2 cup Cottage Cheese (full‑fat, plain; blend until smooth)
• 1 cup Whole Milk (2% or whole milk works best)
• 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste; can substitute with honey or maple syrup)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla extract for best flavor)
• 1 pinch Salt (enhances flavor)
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (for chocolate version; sift before adding)

Instructions

1. Blend Base Ingredients

   Add cottage cheese, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the blender. For the chocolate version, also add the sifted cocoa powder. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.

   Time: PT5M

2. Pre‑Freeze the Mixture

   Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer‑safe container, cover tightly, and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours. This solidifies the base so the Ninja Creamy can churn it properly.

   Time: PT24H

3. Churn in Ninja Creamy

   Remove the frozen container from the freezer, give it a quick stir, then pour the mixture into the Ninja Creamy bowl. Secure the lid, select the “Light Ice Cream” setting, and let the machine run for about 30 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.

   Time: PT30M

4. Serve or Add Mix‑ins

   Serve the ice cream immediately, or fold in your favorite mix‑ins (chocolate chips, fruit, nuts) and enjoy. Store leftovers as directed.
