Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (450 g) cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, stevia, or erythritol)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Measure 2 cups (450 g) of cottage cheese and 2-3 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener. Prepare any optional flavorings like vanilla or spices.
- Place the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add sweetener and any optional flavorings like vanilla extract. Blend again for 30 seconds until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Scrape the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and spread evenly.
- Cover tightly and freeze for at least 2 hours for a soft texture or up to 4 hours for firmer ice cream.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften. Scoop and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
Blend cottage cheese until ultra-smooth to avoid lumps. Use a shallow container for even freezing. Stir halfway through freezing if possible to reduce ice crystals. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping for best texture. For dairy-free version, substitute silken tofu for cottage cheese.
