Ingredients
| 4 | egg yolks | |
| 30 g | caster sugar | |
| 250 ml | whole milk | |
| 100 ml | single cream | |
| 50 g | cottage cheese (blended smooth) | |
| 1 pinch | fine salt | |
| 20 g | milk protein powder (unflavoured or vanilla) | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | vanilla bean paste |
Instructions
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan until smooth and slightly thickened. Slowly incorporate the milk and cream, mixing until fully combined.
- Warm over low heat, stirring continuously, until the custard gently thickens and reaches 74–80°C.
- Remove from heat, blend in the smooth cottage cheese and protein powder until silky, then add vanilla paste and a touch of salt to round the flavour.
- Pass through a sieve if a finer finish is preferred, cool quickly, then pour into a Ninja Swirl tub. Secure the lid and freeze flat for at least 24 hours.
- Insert the frozen tub into the machine. Select SCOOP, then GELATO.
- Portion into chilled bowls and enjoy plain, or add a gentle splash of warm milk over the top for a soft, creamy gelato-style finish.
