Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (220 g) cottage cheese, full fat recommended
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 to 5 tbsp maple syrup, or honey, to taste
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the full-fat cottage cheese with cocoa powder and maple syrup (or honey). You can also add any optional extras like vanilla extract or a pinch of salt if desired. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and place it in the freezer for about 4 hours, or until it reaches a scoopable ice cream consistency.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping. Enjoy your high-protein, low-carb chocolate cottage cheese ice cream!
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the maple syrup or honey amount according to your taste.
- Optional add-ins like vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor.
- If you prefer a firmer ice cream, freeze longer; for a softer texture, reduce freezing time slightly.
- This recipe is best consumed within a week of freezing for optimal freshness.
