Instructions

Add the base ingredients to a blender: add the cottage cheese, milk, pudding mix, vanilla, sugar, and salt to a blender.
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 3/4 cup whole milk, 1-2 Tbsp. vanilla or chocolate pudding mix, 2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2-4 Tbsp. favorite sweetener, pinch of salt
Blend until smooth: blend for about 20-30 seconds, just until smooth.
Pour into container: Pour the mixture into an empty CREAMi™ Pint. Filling to the max fill line.
Freeze: freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours. (freezing with the lid on creates a hump at the top of the ice cream, which can damage the blade, so be sure to leave it off).
Assemble: Remove the pint from the freezer, place it in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
Spin it! Select the lite ice cream program. It shouldn’t need another respin, but if it does respin 1x.
Enjoy: remove the pint and enjoy right away with any mix-ins on top!
mix-ins: creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, oreos, etc.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers right in the Ninja pint with the lid on. It will firm up in the freezer again, so you will need to re-spin it before enjoying it another day.
Can I make this without a Ninja creami? This recipe has been tested for use in the Ninja Creami machine. If you want regular cottage cheese ice cream, you simply can blend up 2 cups of cottage cheese with your sweetener of choice (3-4 Tbsp.) and any other flavor mix-ins (peanut butter, strawberries, banana) and freeze it for 4 hours, thaw for 10-15 minutes, then enjoy.
