Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup frozen or fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) or mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Blend the Base:
- In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Add Mix-ins:
- Gently fold in berries, chocolate chips, or nuts.
- For a swirl effect, blend them slightly instead of folding.
3. Freeze:
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for 4-6 hours.
- For a softer texture, stir every 1-2 hours while freezing.
4. Serve:
- Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
- Enjoy as is, or top with extra berries, nuts, or melted chocolate.
Notes
- For Extra Creaminess: Swap half the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt.
- Low-Carb Option: Use a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey or maple syrup.
- Prevent Over-Hardening: Stir every 1-2 hours while freezing
- Make it Chocolatey: Blend in 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate.
