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
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, strawberries, and sweetener to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Transfer mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, stirring once halfway through.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
- 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.
