- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract

- Pour the base into a Ninja Creami Deluxe pint. Level the top, cover, and freeze on a flat surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, attach the paddle lid, and lock it into the machine. Press Ice Cream.
- If it's crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or half and half to a small well in the center and press Respin.
- For mix-ins, make a well in the center, add them, and run the Mix-In program.
- Serve right away, or freeze for about an hour for a firmer texture.
Notes
- There's no coffee in the base. It's named after the coffee-free café ube latte. For a coffee version, add a little instant espresso powder before freezing.
- Ube extract strength varies by brand. Taste the base before freezing and adjust next time.
- Ube halaya works in place of extract, but the flavor and color come out milder.
- Freeze the base a full 24 hours so it spins creamy instead of slushy.
- Respin before adding mix-ins, so they spread evenly through a smooth base.
- Original Creami (16-ounce pint): Make two-thirds of the recipe and stay under the max fill line.
- Leftovers: Level the top, cover, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Respin before serving.
- Nutrition is an estimate and varies with your brands of half and half, cottage cheese, and condensed milk.
