Strawberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is insanely creamy and sweet, tasting like strawberry cheesecake ice cream. It's high protein and simple to make!

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the cottage cheese, strawberries, honey, and vanilla bean paste in the Ninja Creami pint. Use an immersion blender to puree smooth. (Alternatively, you can use a blender pour into the pint, if you don't have an immersion blender.)

  2. 2

    Cover the Ninja Creami pint and place in the freezer. Freeze for 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami. Run a "Lite Ice Cream" cycle.

  4. 4

    After the first cycle, the strawberry cottage cheese ice cream is likely not quite creamy enough and may be a little powdery. Return it to the Ninja Creami and run a Re-Spin cycle. (You can add a tablespoon of liquid to help the Re-Spin process, which may be more helpful with a fat free cottage cheese, but with a 1% or 2% cottage cheese, I generally find just a Re-Spin and non added liquid is the perfect combination).

  5. 5

    Add any mix-ins if desired, then serve immediately and enjoy.
