Ingredients
- Lemon Pudding Mix – 2 tablespoons of the Simply Delish Sugar Free Lemon Pudding Mix. Use the discount code KATIE10 for 10% off!
- Cottage Cheese – 16 ounces of small curd cottage cheese. I use 1%.
- Maple Syrup – 1/8 cup of organic maple syrup. You don’t need much at all!!
- Honey Thins – I use the sweet honey thins by Simple Mills as a healthier alternative to graham crackers. And you’d never know the difference!
How To Make It
- Combine all ingredients except for the graham crackers in your Ninja CREAMi pint container & freeze. This should take about 3-4 hours to be completely solid.
- Take it out of the freezer and allow it to sit out on the counter for 15-20 minutes so that it blends nicely.
- Blend the ice cream in your Ninja CREAMi using the lite ice cream setting.
- Make a divot in the middle of the ice cream. Add the graham crackers and then select the “mix in” setting.
- Immediately dig in and enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
Store any leftover ice cream in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you are ready to enjoy it again, allow the container to sit out on your counter for 30 minutes and then dig in! You can also use the “re-spin” option on your Ninja CREAMi to fluff it up a bit more!
