Cottage Cheese Ice Cream

Directions

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

Place the cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes. If desired, add cocoa powder, fruit puree, or other flavorings at this stage.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps the ice cream set better and improves the texture.

Step 3: Freeze the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 4: Optional Mix-Ins

If you’d like to add chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit pieces, fold them in gently after churning.

Step 5: Firm the Ice Cream

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2–4 hours to firm up.

Step 6: Serve

Scoop the cottage cheese ice cream into bowls or cones. Add fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts for a finishing touch.
