1 & 3/4 cups cottage cheese full-fat or 2%
1/2 cup milk
2-3 tbsp maple syrup monkfruit, honey, or agave (adjust to your sweetness preference)
1 ½ tsp vanilla bean paste or sub with 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Combine the cottage cheese, sweetener, vanilla bean paste, and salt in the Ninja Creami Deluxe container, ensuring the mixture remains below the max fill line.
Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as necessary to achieve a uniform texture.
Level the surface with a spoon or spatula, secure the lid, and freeze on a flat surface for at least 24 hours.
Place the container into the Ninja Creami Deluxe and select the Lite Ice Cream setting.
Process the mixture again using the re-spin function if the texture is crumbly until it reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency.
Incorporate chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or cookie crumbles by running the Mix-In cycle.

Tips:

• Vanilla bean paste gives a rich, gourmet flavor and those pretty little specks!

• Want it even creamier? Use full-fat cottage cheese or add a splash of heavy cream before blending.

• Turn it into cookies & cream by mixing in crushed sandwich cookies after the spin.
