Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 16 oz cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Mix-in

  • 3 dates, pitted

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized Ninja CREAMi container, combine the cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Cover with the container lid tightly.
  2. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for approximately 4 hours or until the mixture is solidly frozen.
  3. Thaw Slightly: Remove the container from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or run the container under warm water for 2 minutes to soften the ice cream for better blending.
  4. Blend: Insert the container into the Ninja CREAMi and process on the ‘Lite Ice Cream’ setting to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  5. Add Dates: Add the pitted dates to the ice cream and use the ‘Mix-In’ function on the Ninja CREAMi to incorporate them evenly throughout the ice cream.
  6. Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to taste, and enjoy your protein-rich, naturally sweetened frozen treat immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • If dates are too firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding to make mixing easier.
  • The ice cream base must be frozen solid before blending for best results.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet ice cream.
  • The flaky sea salt enhances the flavors though can be omitted if preferred.
