Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients—cottage cheese, milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract—into a blender and blend together until fully smooth and combined.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami container. Place the container on a level surface in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours to ensure it is thoroughly frozen.
- Prepare for Processing: After freezing, remove the container and run warm water along the outside edges to slightly thaw the ice cream, which helps to loosen and prepare it for processing.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the ice cream setting to process the frozen base into creamy ice cream.
- Adjust Texture if Needed: If the ice cream texture is crumbly rather than creamy, add a tiny splash of milk and use the respin function on the Ninja Creami to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Serve: Once processed to desired creaminess, serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cinnamon ice cream.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the mixture is frozen on a level surface to avoid uneven freezing.
- If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, this mixture can be softened and stirred every 30 minutes while freezing to mimic homemade ice cream texture.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a milder or stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Use whole milk or a milk alternative depending on dietary preferences, but this may affect texture.
- Adding a splash of milk during processing helps improve texture if ice cream becomes crumbly or too firm.
