Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Ninja Creami Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
full-fat, I prefer Good Culture
- 2 tbsp chocolate instant pudding mix
sugar-free or regular
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Directions
- 1
First, add all of your ingredients to a large bowl. (You can also do this directly in the Ninja Creami pint container if you prefer). Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender you can use a tabletop blender or whisk rigorously by hand.

Next, transfer your blended mixture into the pint container and freeze for 24 hours.
- 3
Time to spin! Remove the frozen mixture from your freezer and put into the Ninja Creami machine. Spin using the ice cream setting one time. Each spin takes a couple of minutes.

Run again using the re-spin button.

Run a final third time using the re-spin button until your mixture is smooth and creamy like the picture below. Before the final spin, you can add a splash of milk if your mixture is looking a bit dry, too crumbly, or you want a creamier texture.

When you’ve finished your final spin, test out the creaminess using a spoon. When your ice cream is smooth, creamy and no longer crumbly, it’s finished and ready to eat!

This Decadent Chocolate Cottage Cheese Ice Cream, designed for your Ninja Creami, delivers rich flavor and an incredibly creamy texture with straightforward ingredients. It's the perfect way to enjoy a sweet indulgence without compromising on quality or ease.
The magic lies in combining the unexpected creaminess of full-fat cottage cheese, like Good Culture, with the intense flavor of cocoa powder and instant chocolate pudding mix. This ingenious blend, when processed in the Ninja Creami, transforms into a remarkably smooth and decadent frozen dessert. The addition of heavy cream and milk works synergistically to ensure a luscious mouthfeel that truly rivals traditional ice cream, proving that healthier-ish can still be utterly delicious and satisfying.
Prepare for a velvety-smooth, deeply chocolatey experience that feels indulgent yet light. Each spoonful offers a rich, satisfying cocoa flavor, perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla and a touch of sweetness from honey. You'll find yourself reaching for another scoop of this perfectly portioned, creamy delight, designed for two servings of pure bliss.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by altering the amount of honey to your preference. For a richer chocolate experience, consider using dark cocoa powder. You can also experiment with different milk types, though the heavy cream is key for optimal richness. If you're managing sugar intake, remember the recipe calls for either sugar-free or regular chocolate instant pudding mix, offering flexibility.
This Decadent Chocolate Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is the perfect treat for a quiet evening in or a light dessert after dinner. Enjoy it on its own, or perhaps with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
