Equipment
- high-speed blender
- Freezer-safe container
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup sweetener (e.g., monk fruit blend or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or water for blending consistency (optional)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place the cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, add milk or water one tablespoon at a time until a thick, smooth paste forms.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.
- Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap.
- Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly.
Notes
For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder during blending. If you prefer a firmer texture, use low-fat cottage cheese. If using a Ninja CREAMi, blend the mixture until smooth, pour into the pint, freeze solid, and then process according to your machine’s directions.
