Description
Chocolate Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is a rich, creamy high-protein frozen treat blended from cottage cheese, cacao, honey, and almond butter in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
1 (16 oz) container cottage cheese (full fat preferred)
¼ to ⅓ cup honey
¼ cup cacao powder
2 tablespoons almond butter (or cashew or peanut butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, optional, to taste
Instructions
1. Add the cottage cheese, cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla extract, and honey to a food processor or blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, until set.
4. Serve topped with flaky sea salt, if desired.
Notes
Blend until completely smooth so the ice cream is creamy, not grainy.
The ice cream becomes very hard after extended freezing; let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before scooping.
