- ½ cup cottage cheese

- Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, keeping it at or below the max fill line.
- Seal the pint and freeze on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the pint from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Process on the Lite Ice Cream setting for a lighter froyo texture, or use Ice Cream for a denser result.
- Respin once if the texture is crumbly after the first spin.
- Scoop and serve immediately, or refreeze for 20 to 30 minutes for firmer scoops.
Notes
- Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Fat-free Greek yogurt can turn out icier.
- Blend the base until completely smooth so there are no cottage cheese curds or strawberry chunks.
- Fresh or frozen strawberries both work. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them first.
- Straining the base is optional, but it helps remove strawberry seeds for a smoother froyo.
- Taste the base before freezing. It should taste a little sweeter than you want the final frozen yogurt to be.
- If the first spin is crumbly or powdery, run Respin once. Add 1 tablespoon of milk only if needed.
- Serve right away for a soft-serve texture, or freeze for 20 to 30 minutes for firmer scoops.
- Flatten leftovers in the pint before refreezing so it spins evenly next time.
- For extra strawberry flavor, add a few chopped strawberries after spinning, but avoid adding large frozen chunks before processing.
