Description

Strawberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is a creamy, protein-packed twist on a classic summer favorite. Blending cottage cheese with fresh strawberries creates a surprisingly smooth base that’s both sweet and nourishing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 23 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add cottage cheese, strawberries, and sweetener to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  3. Transfer mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  4. Freeze for 2–3 hours, stirring once halfway through.
  5. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
  6. Serve in bowls or cones. Add toppings like fresh berries, granola, or chocolate drizzle if desired.

Notes

For the creamiest result, use small-curd cottage cheese. If using frozen strawberries, thaw slightly before blending for a smoother base.
