Ingredients
  • 16 oz cottage cheese (2%, small curd)
  • 1/8 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract if you can't find)
  • 1/4 cup hot chocolate mix (I use the Collagen Hot Chocolate mix by Nutra Naturals. It is SOOOO good & made with clean ingredients! Plus it has protein!)
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder (organic, raw)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, hot chocolate mix, and cacao powder to your Ninja CREAMi pint container. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. 2
    Secure the lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, though overnight yields the creamiest texture.
  3. 3
    Once fully frozen, place the pint into your Ninja CREAMi and run the appropriate setting based on your model:
  4. 4
    Original Ninja CREAMi : Place the frozen pint in the outer bowl, lock the lid, and run the Lite Ice Cream function.
  5. 5
    Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Soft Serve Maker (newer model): Insert the pint and run the Lite Ice Cream + Soft Serve function.
  6. 6
    After the full cycle runs, I recommend doing one respin to ensure it is fully incorporated and extra creamy.
  7. 7
    Scoop and enjoy immediately. If you are using the Deluxe model, you can dispense it directly from the soft serve side for that smooth, swirled finish.
