Strawberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream (in the Ninja Creami)
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
or extract
Directions
- 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
Cover the Ninja Creami pint and place in the freezer. Freeze for 24 hours.
- 3
Place the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami. Run a "Lite Ice Cream" cycle.

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).

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