Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
This clever recipe turns rich, high-protein cottage cheese into a smooth, creamy dessert. With the sweetness of honey, the richness of peanut butter, and a touch of chocolate, it’s a wholesome frozen treat that feels indulgent—without the guilt.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Full-fat cottage cheese | 2 cups |
| Honey | 1/4 to 1/3 cup (adjust to taste) |
| Peanut butter | 3 tablespoons |
| Chocolate chips | 3 tablespoons |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
Step 1: Blend Until Smooth
Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until the mixture is silky smooth with no visible curds remaining.
Step 2: Chill the Mixture
Transfer the blended base to a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This helps the texture set for better churning.
Step 3: Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to your machine’s instructions.
Step 4: Mix in Chocolate Chips
During the final 5 minutes of churning, add in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.
Step 5: Freeze to Set
Scoop the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm and scoopable.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Then scoop and enjoy your creamy, protein-packed dessert!
