Ingredients
1 cup whole-milk cottage cheese
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup frozen strawberries or other frozen fruit
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: 2 tablespoons mix-ins (e.g., peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs)
Instructions
1. Place cottage cheese, sweetener, frozen fruit, and vanilla in a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high until the mixture becomes silky smooth, about 30–60 seconds.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or texture as needed.
4. Transfer the mixture to a shallow freezer-safe container.
5. Freeze for 1–2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to maintain a soft texture.
6. Let soften for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
7. Serve in bowls or cones and top with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For best texture, use full-fat cottage cheese.
If freezing longer than 2 hours, allow it to sit at room temperature to soften before scooping.
Add-ins like chocolate chips or cookie crumbles work best if stirred in after the first freeze.
For a dairy-free variation, try using blended silken tofu or plant-based yogurt.
