Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 16 oz container full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, cacao powder, almond butter, vanilla extract, and honey into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container. Place it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours until the mixture is fully set and has the texture of ice cream.
- Serve: Scoop the frozen ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Using full-fat cottage cheese creates a creamier texture, but you can use low-fat if desired for fewer calories.
- For a smoother blend, process the cottage cheese first before adding the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, add more honey to taste.
- Almond butter adds richness and healthy fats; peanut or cashew butter can be substituted if you prefer.
- The icy texture will intensify if frozen longer, so avoid freezing more than 4 hours to preserve creaminess.
