Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Made Easy with Ninja Creami

Let me tell you something: I was a skeptic. Cottage cheese… in *ice cream*? Sounded like someone lost a bet. But one day, out of sheer curiosity (and a little desperation for something cold that didn’t involve a pint of guilt), I gave it a go. And let me tell you, it’s creamy. It’s rich. It’s a total summer win. You throw a few ingredients into a blender, freeze it, hit it with the Ninja Creami magic, and voilà—scoopable, dreamy goodness that doesn’t come with a side of regret. The tang from the cottage cheese? Actually kind of genius. It makes the sweetness pop and gives you this frozen cheesecake vibe that’s ridiculously satisfying. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, a spoon, and about five minutes, you’re in. Don’t worry if your first batch looks a little wonky—it happens. Just re-spin. That’s part of the Creami charm. Ice cream with character, made by people who eat standing in front of the freezer at midnight. (No judgment. I’m people.)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (I use full-fat, but live your life)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (more if your sweet tooth demands it)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup chopped frozen fruit (cherries, strawberries, whatever your soul needs)

Instructions

  1. Grab a blender and toss everything in—yes, all at once. No need to be delicate.
  2. Blend until it’s smoother than your last pickup line. Really give it time.
  3. Scoop the mix into a Ninja Creami container. Freeze for 24 hours. Not 6. Not 10. The full 24.
  4. Once frozen, place it in the Ninja Creami, select 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Ice Cream', and spin.
  5. If it comes out crumbly (it might), hit it with a re-spin. Magic happens.
  6. Serve with extra fruit, crushed cookies, or just eat it straight from the pint like I do.
