DIRECTIONS¶

1. In an empty Creami tub, blend the cottage cheese with an equal amount of soy milk to a very creamy texture.
2. Add the "wet" ingredients to it.
3. Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
4. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
5. Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
6. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
7. Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
8. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
