Cottage Cheese Ice Cream (Ninja Creami Recipe)

⭐️ What’s so Good about Cottage Cheese?

Over the past few months, cottage cheese has become a weekly staple in my house. It’s mild and creamy, and I love using it to make an easy breakfast, loaded up with fresh fruit, granola, pumpkin or chia seeds, a drizzle of honey, and whatever else I have on hand.

The flavour is similar to Greek yogurt – that sort of creamy, ever so slightly tangy flavour – but cottage cheese has about 40% less fat, and three times as much protein! It’s the kind of swap that’s so easy to make, with big benefits and basically no downsides.

🍦 What can the Ninja Creami do?

I have made a lot of ice cream over the past few weeks when testing this recipe (*sigh* it’s a hard life), and I am hugely impressed with what the Ninja Creami can do. Just freeze your chosen ingredients in the tub, then blitz it up into the most wonderfully smooth soft serve ice cream.

You can use all sorts of ingredients in the Ninja Creami – it’s one of the most versatile appliances I’ve tried. I’ve made fluffy banana ‘nice cream’ using 100% frozen bananas (it’s like magic, I tell you), super indulgent chocolate ice cream, a slushy using frozen juice, and of course, this healthy homemade cottage cheese ice cream. The possibilities are pretty much endless, and I can’t wait to experiment further as the weather gets warmer and warmer.
