Keyword: cottage cheese, ice cream
Servings: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant based)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 
  • 2 tsps maple syrup 
  • 2 tsps granulated sugar  

Instructions

  • Place the cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup and granulated sugar into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the cottage cheese curds have broken down. 
  • Pour the ice cream base into the Ninja pint container and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours. 
  • Process the ice cream in the Ninja Creami on the “ice cream” setting.If you want an even smoother ice cream, process it one more time on the same setting. 
  • Optional: Add in toppings of your choice like nuts, chocolate chunks or candy and process on the “mix-in” setting. 

Notes

  • The flavor of this ice cream has a nice mix of tanginess from the cottage cheese and sweetness from the maple syrup and sugar.
  • You can use fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips or chocolate sauce as toppings.
  • This ice cream is a good source of protein from the cottage cheese
  • If you are processing more than 24 hours after freezing, you may need to let the pint container sit out for a few minutes so the ice cream turns out creamy and not slushy.
