Instructions

Step 1: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until silky smooth.
Step 2: Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
Step 3: Remove the Ninja Creami container from the freezer and let it sit on a level surface for 5–10 minutes to slightly soften. Then insert into the Ninja Creami ice cream maker and press the Lite Ice Cream button.
Step 4: If crumbly, press Re-Spin once or twice until you get that dreamy, creamy texture.
Step 5: Scoop and enjoy right away or refreeze for later!

Expert Tips

Best texture: Use full-fat cottage cheese (whole milk cottage cheese), not low-fat.
Re-spin magic: Don’t be afraid to hit Re-Spin, it’s key for creaminess!
Smoothest blend: Room temperature, Nutella blends more easily.
Flavor boost: Add a dash of espresso powder or a splash of hazelnut extract.
For a creamier texture, blend with a splash of almond milk or add a tiny pinch of guar gum or xanthan gum before freezing.
Use an immersion blender to mix directly in your Ninja Creami pint if you don’t want to dirty a full blender or a bowl.
Keep the ice cream base below the max fill line – this helps the Re-Spin function do its magic.
Want a protein boost? Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder or swirl in your favorite protein shake.
