Protein Matcha Ninja Creami
This Ninja Creami matcha ice cream comes out so creamy and full of matcha flavor.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the Ninja Creami container. Stir together to combine.
- Cover, then place in the freezer on a level surface and freeze for at least 24 hours.
- Run a little warm water on the outside of the Creami container to unfreeze the outside.
- Process on the Ice Cream setting. If crumbly, add a splash of milk (about a Tbsp) and respin.
Notes
- I used 2 teaspoons of matcha in this recipe. I think it gives the ice cream a nice matcha flavor without being overpowering. I've tried it with a full Tablespoon, and while it's still delicious, it may be too much matcha flavor for some people.
- To store leftovers, simply level out the top with a spoon and then place back in the freezer. You will likely need to reprocess before enjoying again.
- If you want extra protein, you can always add a scoop of protein powder, but I love that this recipe has protein even without adding protein powder.
- Use a low acid cottage cheese, otherwise your finished ice cream will have more of a sour taste. You can also substitute ricotta for the cottage cheese which will make sure it's a neutral flavor.
