Ingredients Notes & Substitutions

• Cottage Cheese: Opt for full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture, but low-fat or fat-free versions work as well. 
• Strawberries: Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor, but you can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available. Thaw and drain the frozen strawberries before using.
• Sweetener: Honey adds natural sweetness to the ice cream. You can substitute with agave nectar, stevia, or your preferred sweetener. Adjust the amount to taste.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor. If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can use vanilla bean paste or omit it entirely for a more pronounced strawberry taste.
• Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative with add-ins such as chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or other fruits.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 cup chopped strawberries
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture: In the Ninja Creami pint, combine 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1 cup of chopped strawberries, 3 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. (Alternatively, if you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender and then pour the mixture into the pint.)
2. Freeze: Cover the Ninja Creami pint and place it in the freezer for 24 hours.
3. First Cycle: After freezing, place the pint in the Ninja Creami and run the "Lite Ice Cream" cycle according to the Creami's directions for use.
4. Re-Spin: After the first cycle, the ice cream may still be powdery and not fully creamy. Return it to the Ninja Creami and run a Re-Spin cycle. If using fat-free cottage cheese, you can add a tablespoon of liquid to help the process. However, with 1% or 2% cottage cheese, a Re-Spin without added liquid usually works perfectly.
5. Serve: Add any desired mix-ins, then serve immediately and enjoy!
