Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese provides a creamy texture and high protein
  • 1/4 cup Honey natural sweetener; substitute with maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt enhances sweetness

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract opt for pure extract for best results
  • 3 pieces Medjool Dates naturally sweetens; soak in warm water if firm

Equipment

  • Ninja CREAMi

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, sea salt, and pitted Medjool dates. Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Pour the creamy mixture into the Ninja CREAMi container, seal tightly, and place in the freezer for 4-12 hours.
  3. After freezing, attach the container to the Ninja CREAMi and select the 'Lite Ice Cream' setting. Process for 1-2 minutes until creamy.
  4. If a softer texture is desired, reprocess for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. For firmer ice cream, refreeze and process again.
  5. Serve immediately in bowls or cones, adding a pinch of sea salt on top if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
