Prep Time: 10

Freezing Time: 24

Author: Heather Painchaud

Servings: 1 pint

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Cottage cheese
½ cup Vanilla Premier Protein shake
2 tbsp Monk fruit sweetener or white sugar
1 tbsp Instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients in the Ninja Creami pint container. Use an immersion blender to combine well. Make sure that the mixture stays below the max fill line.
Freeze the pint container on a flat, level surface for 24 hours or until frozen solid.
Run the frozen pint under hot water for 30 seconds to loosen the sides. Remove the lid and place the container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami.
Secure the outer bowl lid, insert it into the Ninja Creami machine, and press the Lite Ice Cream button. Let the cycle complete.
Check the texture; if powdery, use the Re-spin function for a smoother consistency.
Top with fresh berries or your favorite toppings if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Want ultra-creamy ice cream? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain texture. This can be substituted for the pudding mix.

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, try freezing without the lid or scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.

If you're looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup for a different flavor profile.
