Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 1 ½ cup 2% milk (360 mL)
  • ¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese (optional) (57g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 31g)
  • 14 g sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 tsp cake batter or vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ tsp butter extract
  • 1 tsp stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
  • pinch of salt
Gooey Butter Cake Mix-In
  • 14 g almond flour
  • 30 g non-fat plain greek yogurt
  • ¼ tsp butter extract
  • 1 tsp stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste
  • pinch of salt

Method
 

  1.  In a blender, combine the milk, cottage cheese (if using), vanilla protein powder, sugar-free pudding mix, cake batter or vanilla extract, butter extract, stevia, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint, and freeze for 24 hours on a level surface.
  3. Before spinning your ice cream, in a microwave-safe dish (an 8 oz ramekin works perfectly), combine almond flour, Greek yogurt, butter extract, vanilla extract, stevia, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix until smooth and microwave for 1 minute.
  5. Place it in the freezer to cool while you spin your ice cream.
  6. Remove the frozen Ninja Creami pint from the freezer and run it under hot water for about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Spin on “Lite Ice Cream” mode.
  8.  Re-spin 1-2 times, until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Take the cooled cake out of the freezer and crumble it into bite-sized chunks using a spoon or fork.
  10. Gently mix the cake pieces into the spun ice cream by hand. Alternatively, you can use the “Mix-In” mode on the Ninja Creami, but note that this may disperse the cake pieces more evenly rather than keeping them chunky.
  11. Enjoy!
