3 Ingredient Maple Creemee Ice Cream Recipe
Introduction
This 3-ingredient Maple Creemee Ice Cream is a simple and delicious treat that captures the classic creamy texture and rich maple flavor. Made with just cottage cheese, pure maple syrup, and milk or cream, it’s an easy homemade dessert that’s perfect for maple lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup milk or cream of choice
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and milk or cream to a small blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed. Taste and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter or with a stronger maple flavor.
- Step 2: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja CREAMi pint container. Cover and freeze on a level surface for at least 12 hours, or until completely frozen.
- Step 3: Remove the frozen pint from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja CREAMi outer bowl, attach the paddle and lid, then process using the “Lite Ice Cream” setting.
- Step 4: If necessary, re-spin the ice cream until it reaches a smooth, soft-serve consistency.
- Step 5: Scoop and enjoy your creamy maple ice cream! Store leftovers in the freezer and re-spin before serving to restore the soft-serve texture.
Tips & Variations
- Use whole milk or heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have a Ninja CREAMi, this mixture can be churned in an ice cream maker or frozen and stirred manually for a softer texture.
Storage
Store the ice cream in the freezer in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 1 week. Before serving, re-spin or let it soften slightly and stir to regain the creamy texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk or cream of choice
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: Add cottage cheese, pure maple syrup, and your choice of milk or cream to a small blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Taste and add more maple syrup if you desire additional sweetness or stronger maple flavor.
- Freeze until solid: Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja CREAMi pint container. Cover it with the lid and place it on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 12 hours or until the mixture is fully frozen solid.
- Process Ice Cream: Remove the frozen pint container from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja CREAMi outer bowl, secure the paddle and lid, and select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting to spin and churn the mixture into soft-serve ice cream.
- Re-spin if needed: If the texture is not smooth and creamy enough, you can run the spin cycle again to achieve the desired soft-serve consistency.
- Scoop & Enjoy! Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or store in the freezer. Before serving again, re-spin in the Ninja CREAMi to restore the creamy soft-serve texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat or reduced-fat cottage cheese based on your preference for creaminess and fat content.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- The Ninja CREAMi machine is essential for processing this ice cream; without it, achieving the soft-serve texture will be challenging.
- Before each serving after storage, re-spin the ice cream to refresh the texture.
- For a richer taste, use heavy cream instead of milk.
