Can you turn cottage cheese into ice cream?

Absolutely! Blending cottage cheese with sweeteners and flavorings like cocoa creates a creamy base perfect for freezing. It mimics traditional ice cream texture with way more protein.

What are the two ingredients in cottage cheese ice cream?

At its most basic, you only need cottage cheese and a sweetener (like maple syrup or honey). Add-ins like cocoa, fruit, or vanilla take it to the next level.

Why is my cottage cheese ice cream icy?

Icy texture often means either your cottage cheese was too watery or you didn’t blend it fully. Using full-fat and stirring once during freezing helps prevent this.

What is the healthiest ice cream you can eat?

Ice creams like this one, made with cottage cheese, are among the healthiest. They're high in protein, lower in added sugar, and customizable to fit your goals. Just like our burger bowl recipe , it’s all about balance and real food ingredients.
