Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker
- 1 Ninja Container Pint
Ingredients
- 1½ cup Half and half
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit
Mix-In
- 1 large apple
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- dash of cinnamon
- graham cracker (crumbled)
Instructions
- Blend the Base: Add half and half, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sea salt, monk fruit and condensed milk to a blender. Blend until smooth. I used my Vitamix blender for this step to make sure everything was perfectly creamy.
- Pour into Ninja CREAMi Container: Once blended, pour the mixture into your Ninja CREAMi pint container, and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Make the Mix-ins: While the base is freezing, sauté your apple pieces in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set them aside to cool before adding them to the ice cream.
- Run the CREAMi Cycle: After the base is frozen, pop the pint into the Ninja CREAMi, and use the "Ice Cream" setting.
- Add the Mix-ins: Once the cycle is complete, add your apple mixture and crushed graham crackers into the ice cream using the "Mix-in" setting.
- Serve: Scoop and enjoy immediately or store for later!
Notes
- Make sure to freeze the base for a full 24 hours before spinning — that’s the key to a creamy texture. Blend everything until perfectly smooth so there aren’t any tiny cottage cheese bits hiding in there.
- If your apples are warm, let them cool completely before mixing in or they’ll make the ice cream refreeze unevenly. And don’t worry about extra protein powder — the cottage cheese already gives this plenty of protein on its own.
- If the texture looks crumbly after the first spin, just hit Re-spin once or twice until it turns silky. For an extra-smooth scoop, you can mix in a tablespoon of maple syrup or corn syrup before freezing to keep it from crystallizing.
- Always add your mix-ins like apples or graham crackers after the last spin using the Mix-in setting. Store any leftovers right in the Ninja Creami pint, tightly covered. When you’re ready for another scoop, let it sit out for five minutes, then Re-spin — good as new.
