Margarita Ice Cream

This Margarita Ice Cream is creamy, refreshing, and tastes just like my favorite summer drink! Made with 8 grams of protein and no refined sugar, it’s a better-for-you treat that’s perfect for summer. With its sweet flavor and thick, creamy consistency, you’d never guess this isn’t traditional ice cream! I make it with my Ninja Creami, but I’m also including an easy blender option in case you don’t have one.

Equipment

Ninja Creami
Pint Containers
Blender optional, if you don't have a Creami

Ingredients

4 teaspoons grated lime zest
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup agave or maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup cottage cheese
2/3 cup coconut cream

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into a pint container for the Ninja Creami, add a lid, and freeze overnight.
When ready, use the Ninja Creami “Sorbet” setting to mix the ice cream.
Serve, top with a drizzle of agave syrup and a sprinkle of flaky salt, and enjoy!

Notes

You can also add 4-5 Tablespoons of tequila if you want a boozy twist on this recipe! Just know that this will result in a softer sherbet texture.
See the blog post for instructions on how to make this in a blender instead of a Creami!
