By harnessing the power of the Ninja® CREAMi®, we've transformed simple cottage cheese into a healthy, soft-serve-style frozen treat. We blend it with classic pumpkin purée, maple syrup and warming pumpkin pie spice for an incredibly smooth and satisfying dessert, with all the cozy fall flavors you crave.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a Ninja® CREAMi® ice cream maker
  1. Blend the cottage cheese, milk, brown sugar, pumpkin, maple syrup, protein powder, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice in a blender until completely smooth. Pour the ice cream base into an empty Ninja® CREAMi® pint of the ice cream maker. Place the storage lid on the pint to secure and freeze until completely frozen, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
  2. Remove the storage lid from the pint. Attach the pint to the Ninja® CREAMi® according to the manual instructions and secure the paddle. Select the CREAMIFIT or LITE ICE CREAM program (depending on model) and process. When complete, remove the pint from the machine.
  3. Serve from the pint or attach the dispensing lid (depending on model) and serve as soft serve according to the manual instructions. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
