Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 16 oz Cottage Cheese A creamy foundation that provides a protein boost. Swap for Greek yogurt if desired.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Adds natural sweetness; use maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 3 pieces Pitted Dates Contributes a caramel-like sweetness; can be substituted with agave syrup or mashed banana.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Adjusts the consistency; opt for almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative.
For Flavor Enhancements
  • 1/2 tsp Flaky Sea Salt Deepens the flavor with a subtle saltiness; any sea salt variety works well.

Equipment

  • Ninja Creami

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, add 16 oz of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/2 tsp of flaky sea salt, 3 pitted dates, and 1/4 cup of milk. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
  2. Transfer the blended ice cream mixture into a sealable container, ensuring an even layer at the top. Seal tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
  3. Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly for about 5 minutes. Using your Ninja CREAMi, scoop the frozen base into the processing bowl. Process the ice cream on the 'Ice Cream' setting.
  4. Scoop your creamy Sea Salt & Honey Protein Ice Cream into bowls and sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt for that perfect finishing touch.

Notes

Blend well to ensure the dates are fully integrated. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it's too hard to scoop. Follow Ninja CREAMi instructions carefully for the best texture.
