Equipment
- 1 Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream maker
- 1 Ninja Creami 24 ounce container pint
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ cup cottage cheese or yogurt
- 2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup rolled oats soaked overnight in approx. ½ cup milk or water
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Combine the half and half, cottage cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix in the rolled oats (soaked overnight).1 cup half and half, ½ cup cottage cheese or yogurt, 2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup rolled oats, 3 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 pinch cinnamon powder
- Blend the mixture with the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Pour into the Ninja CREAMi pint container and freeze on a level surface for ~24 hours.
- After freezing, spin in the Ninja CREAMi using the “Ice Cream” setting. If texture is dry/crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoon milk or liquid and re-spin.
- Add your mix-ins by digging a well in the centre of the pint, then process “Mix-Ins”.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Soak the oats first. This matters. Dry oats won’t blend smooth and can give you a gritty texture after spinning. Overnight is best, but at least 6 hours works.
- Blend until completely smooth. If you still see oat flecks, keep blending. A smoother base = creamier ice cream.
- Freeze the pint fully solid. Give it a full 24 hours on a level surface. A soft center is the #1 cause of crumbly results.
- Expect to Respin. Oat-based ice cream almost always needs one Respin. If it looks dry, add 1–2 tablespoons milk and spin again.
- Sweetened condensed milk helps texture. You can swap it, but the ice cream will freeze firmer without it.
- Add peanut butter, chocolate chips, or fruit only during the Mix-In cycle. Swirling them in earlier can mess with the spin.
- Too thick before freezing? Add a splash of milk before pouring into the pint so it spins more smoothly later.
- Best texture is right after spinning. If refreezing leftovers, let the pint sit out 5–10 minutes and Respin before serving.
- For a 16-oz pint: Cut all ingredients in half and follow the same steps.
