Total Time: 6 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Equipment

  • 1 blender or food processor
  • 1 freezer-safe airtight container

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk cottage cheese
  • 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Add the cottage cheese, mixed berries, and honey (or maple syrup) to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
  • Pour the mixture into a large freezer-safe container and spread evenly. Transfer to the freezer for at least 6 hours, or until frozen solid.
  • When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, or until soft enough to scoop. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture. Low-fat versions are more watery and can result in an icy consistency.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing to prevent ice crystals.
  • Let thaw for at least 10 minutes before scooping — it freezes very solid!
  • Ninja Creami tip: Freeze the blended mixture overnight, then run through the Creami for an ultra-creamy, soft-serve texture.
