Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup (or honey/maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Add the cottage cheese, protein powder, sweetener, milk, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend on high for about 1 minute until completely smooth, scraping the sides once.
  2. Pour into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove and stir well with a fork, then return to the freezer for another 2 1/2 to 3 hours until firm.
  3. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften, then scoop and serve.

Notes

Freeze for at least 3 hours total before serving. Stirring at the 30-minute mark makes a big difference in texture. The ice cream keeps well for up to a week, but let it soften a little each time you scoop.
