- 1 Blender
- 24 oz Ninja Creami Container Pint
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Oat Milk
- ½ cup Cottage Cheese Low Fat

- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, keeping it below the max fill line. Cover with the lid and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours, until solid.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, and lock it into the machine. Spin on the Lite Ice Cream setting.
- If the ice cream looks crumbly or icy, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oat milk and respin. Repeat once more if needed.
- Serve right away, or use the Mix-In setting to add toppings. Mix-ins add calories beyond the nutrition shown.
Notes
- Pint size: This recipe is sized for the Ninja Creami Deluxe's 24-ounce pint. For a 16-ounce pint, use two-thirds of each ingredient.
- Oat milk: The nutrition is based on regular oat milk. Barista-style or sweetened oat milk will raise the calories.
- Cottage cheese: Use low-fat to keep the calories down, and blend until there are no curds left. Full-fat works but raises the calories.
- Respinning: Low-fat bases usually need one or two respins. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oat milk before each respin if it's crumbly.
- Sweetness: Taste the base before freezing. Cold dulls sweetness, so it should taste slightly sweeter than you want the finished ice cream to be.
- Storage: Smooth the top flat and freeze leftovers in the pint with the lid on, for up to 2 to 3 weeks. Respin before serving, or let it sit on the counter for about 10 minutes.
- Nutrition: Calories don't include mix-ins or toppings.
