Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: Combine the full-fat cottage cheese, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain from the cottage cheese.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the blended mix into a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance creaminess and prepare for freezing.
  3. Freeze and Stir: If you have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture in and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until soft-serve consistency. If not, pour into a shallow freezer-safe container, freeze for 30 minutes, then stir vigorously with a fork or whisk. Repeat every 30 minutes until the ice cream is firm but scoopable.
  4. Set and Serve: Once frozen to desired consistency, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately or store for later use.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid graininess from cottage cheese.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying honey or maple syrup amounts.
  • Chill the base mixture well before freezing for smoother ice cream.
  • Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit after churning or during the last mixing step.
