Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt in a Ninja Creami pint until smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed.
Seal and freeze the mixture for 12 to 24 hours.
Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Insert the pint into the Ninja Creami and select 'Lite Ice Cream' or 'Creamy Ice Cream'.
If texture is crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk and re-spin until smooth.
Serve immediately for soft-serve texture or refreeze for firmer ice cream.

Notes

Ensure the cottage cheese is blended completely for a creamier texture.
Let ice cream sit at room temperature for easier scooping if it’s too hard after freezing.
Taste the mixture before freezing to adjust sweetness or spice levels.
