Do I have to use the vanilla pudding mix?

While you can omit it, the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix is highly recommended. It acts as a stabilizer and is the key to achieving the creamiest possible texture and preventing any iciness in your High Protein Blueberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream .

Can I add a scoop of protein powder to this recipe?

Yes! To boost the protein even more, you can add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder to the blender with the other ingredients. You may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of milk or water to ensure the base blends smoothly.

My ice cream is still powdery after a Re-Spin. What should I do?

This can occasionally happen if your base is very low in fat or sugar. The easiest fix is to add 1 tablespoon of a liquid (like milk, almond milk, or even a little more honey) directly to the center of the powdery mixture and then run the "Re-Spin" cycle one more time. This almost always results in a perfect, creamy texture.

Notes

Special Equipment: This recipe requires a Ninja Creami machine and its specific pint container. A blender is also needed to create the smooth base.
Freezing the base for a minimum of 12 hours is essential for the Ninja Creami to process it into the correct texture.
Using full-fat (4%) cottage cheese is recommended for the creamiest result.
