High Protein Ice Cream (Cottage Cheese Ice Cream)
Creamy, high-protein frozen dessert made from just cottage cheese, fruit, and honey — blended smooth and frozen until scoopable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese (2%)
- 1 cups fruit of choice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 1.5 medium bananas, optional for creamier texture
Instructions
- Blend everything: Add the 2 cups cottage cheese (2%), 1 cups fruit of choice, 2 tablespoons honey, and optional 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional) and 1.5 medium bananas, optional for creamier texture to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Cover and freeze until fully frozen.
- Scoop and serve: Run an ice cream scoop under warm water to make scooping easier, then serve.
Notes
Use a higher-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture — low-fat works but will be icier. Stir every hour while freezing to keep it scoopable instead of rock solid. Using frozen fruit? Add 1-2 tbsp milk if your blender struggles.
