If you have seen this trending online, you know just how popular it has become. This version focuses on getting that perfect, rich texture that makes it feel like a real treat without all the extra sugar.

My secret to the best results is blending the base until it is completely smooth before freezing. It is a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping things simple and nutritious.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries or your favorite mix ins
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter for extra creaminess

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter into a high speed blender.

  2. 2

    Blend the mixture on high for about one minute until the texture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.

  3. 3

    Fold in your fresh strawberries or other mix ins by hand if you prefer some texture.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.

  5. 5

    Freeze for at least four hours or until it reaches a scoopable consistency.

  6. 6

    Let the container sit on the counter for five minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.

💡 Tips

If your ice cream gets too hard in the freezer, let it sit on the counter for ten minutes to soften. You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks, but be sure to press a piece of parchment paper against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
