Home Made Ice Cream

[Yvonne Smith]

We now make our own ice cream with a Ninja Creami. It is something that I discovered that lot of low-carb people were doing to be able to enjoy an ice cream treat without all of the sugars and chemicals that go into commercial ice creams.
I just love the Ninja Creami, and making ice cream is simple. You just make the mix, pour it into the Creami container and freeze it overnight. The next day, put the container into the Ninja Creami, and it blends it into a rich ice cream dessert.

I have been making my low carb ice cream with cottage cheese, protein powder, SF pudding mix, a little milk to thin it, and any other flavoring that sounded good to me. We use natural cocoa powder for chocolate ice cream, and add peanut butter powder for the Reeses’ Bites flavor.
One of my favorites is butterscotch, so easy to make with just the pudding mix.
For fruit flavors, we add fruit (fresh or frozen) and sometimes I use SF jello mix.

I just started using yogurt instead of cottage cheese, and that turned out really delicious, too; so I think I will make frozen yogurt from now on, because of the beneficial probiotics in yogurt.
I have a yogurt maker and a gallon of milk is about $3, which is about the same price as a quart of store bought yogurt or cottage cheese; so it will be cheaper as well as healthier for me to make the frozen yogurt instead of the cottage cheese ice cream.

I would love to make homemade ice cream, I've actually not thought of it until you have said this.

What did your homemade ice cream taste like, would you make it again?

We have a ninja creami, and it makes homemade ice cream really easy. It is used by a lot of people who are avoiding sugar or on a low carb diet for diabetes, or some other reason. Basically, you just put the ingredients in your blender, and then pour it into the Ninja containers, freeze overnight, and the next day, you put the frozen container into the Ninja Creami machine, and in a few minutes, it is blended and whipped into a delicious ice cream, sherbet, milkshake, or whatever you want to make with it.
I use either cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, protein powder, SF pudding mix, and sometimes fruit or cocoa for flavoring, blend it all up freeze overnight, and the next day, we have healthy, delicious ice cream. We make it all the time, unless the weather is just too cold to have ice cream.
