Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla Premier Protein shake
- ½ cup cottage cheese blended
- 1 tbsp cheesecake instant pudding mix
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix ins:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 2 tbsp graham crackers crumbled
Instructions
- Combine the first four ingredients into the Ninja Creami pint container, use a hand blender to blend until smooth.
- Freeze the container on a flat, level surface for 24 hours or until frozen solid.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and raspberries. Heat on medium, stirring consistently until the raspberries become tender (about 5 minutes). Allow to cool completely.
- Remove from the Ninja Creami container from the freezer, run it under hot water for 30 seconds or leave it on the counter for 10-15 minutes and take off the lid. Place the container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami, then lock the outer bowl lid into place.
- Secure the outer bowl into the Ninja Creami machine. Press the Lite Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.
- Remove the outer bowl lid. If the ice cream is still powdery after the first spin, then add it back to the machine and press the Re-spin button.
- Make a small hole in the center of the ice cream, add the raspberry filling and 1/2 the graham crumbs. Mix again using the Mix-in button.
- Top with graham cracker crumbs or a drizzle of raspberry sauce and enjoy!

Notes
- Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain texture. This can be used in the place of pudding mix as a low carb alternative.
- Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly.
- Place the pint on a flat surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle.
- If the ice cream is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
- Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run under hot water for 30 seconds before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
- If a dome forms on top while freezing, scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
- If you're looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
