Ingredients

  • 300 g (~ 1 cup) cottage cheese (preferably full fat)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 375 ml (~ 1 1/2 cups) milk (I used semi-skimmed, which is 1.8% fat)

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to the Ninja Creami tub, and mix thoroughly to combine.

  • Place the tub upright in the freezer for at least 24 hours, until fully frozen.

  • Remove the lid from the tub, and insert into the Ninja Creami. Select 'Full', then turn the knob to 'Lite Ice Cream', and blend - it will take 4 minutes. After this first session of blending, the mixture may be a little crumbly.

  • To get the smooth and creamy texture we want, select 'Re-Spin', which will process the mixture for a further 2 minutes. Repeat this until the ice cream reaches your desired texture - I did three re-spins in total.
