Ingredients
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for the chocolate version seen in image_11.png)
• Optional: Chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
1. Blend the Base
Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor. If you want to achieve the chocolate flavor shown in image_11.png, add the cocoa powder at this stage.
2. Process Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high until it is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps left from the cottage cheese to get that authentic ice cream texture.
3. Add Mix-ins
If you’d like to add texture, stir in some chocolate chips or crushed nuts by hand after blending.
4. Freeze
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours.
