  • 2 cups Cottage cheese Full fat recommended for creaminess, low fat works too.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup Or another sweetener of your choice.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Fresh fruit Strawberries, mango, or blueberries for a fruit swirl.
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder For a chocolate version, adjust sweetener if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut butter Adds flavor and creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add cottage cheese and sweetener into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth, ensuring no cottage cheese bits remain.
  3. Incorporate any optional add-ins, if desired, and blend again to combine.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a shallow container.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment to reduce ice crystals.
  6. Freeze for about 30 minutes to set.

Notes

For best texture, use full fat cottage cheese and blend longer to achieve a smooth consistency. Can last 1-2 weeks in the freezer, but best enjoyed fresh.
