Notes

High Protein Cherry Cheesecake Ninja Creami Tips

TEXTURE TIP: The pint may look crumbly after the first spin. Add a small splash of milk and run the Re-Spin cycle until creamy.
COTTAGE CHEESE TIP: Blend the base until completely smooth before freezing. Any curds left in the base can freeze into icy bits.
PUDDING MIX TIP: Cheesecake pudding mix helps with flavor and texture, but too much can make the base overly thick.
MIX-IN TIP: Add the extra cherries and crushed graham crackers after the first spin using the Mix-In cycle so the graham crackers keep some texture.
STORAGE TIP: Leftovers will freeze hard. Level the top, refreeze with the lid on, and Re-Spin before eating again.
