Method
1. Blend the cottage cheese, Fairlife milk, protein powder, allulose, vanilla, and salt for 30 to 45 seconds until fully smooth with no curds left.
2. Pour the base into a Ninja Creami pint, tap to release air bubbles, and freeze flat for 24 hours.
3. Toast the kataifi in a dry pan for 3 to 4 minutes until golden, then stir in the pistachio butter off the heat.
4. Run the Lite Ice Cream program. It will look crumbly and powdery. That is normal.
5. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk and run the Re-spin program until smooth and scoopable.
6. Press a hole in the center, add the pistachio kataifi mix and chopped chocolate, and run the Mix In program once.
7. Scoop into a chilled bowl, drizzle with melted dark chocolate, and top with crushed pistachios.
Storage: Keep the pint in the freezer for up to 2 weeks with the lid on.Best texture: Re-spin straight from frozen instead of letting it melt and refreeze.Toppings: Add pistachios and chocolate only to the portion you are eating so leftovers stay crisp.Crumbly after the first spin? This is normal. Add a splash of milk and run the Re-spin program.
