This cottage cheese ice cream is the creamy treat I’ll be eating all summer. I wouldn’t go so far as to say this will transport you to childhood trips to the ice cream shop but it’s loaded with protein, super satisfying and will keep you full for hours. I have tested this many times and here’s the scoop:
*Cooking down the fruit and making a puree gives this treat a jammy more berry-pie like flavor. You can skip this step and use fresh or frozen fruit but reducing the berries takes this to another level.
*Plan accordingly: Mixing the ice cream every hour helps distribute the mixture evenly so its less icy. If you can’t be bothered stirring, it will still be delicious- the middle will be creamy and the sides may be a little icy. 4 hours in my freezer is the sweet spot.
* Manage your expectations: Ice cream, gets it’s creamy consistency and lovely sweetness from cream, yolks and sugar. This frozen treat is made from fruit, cottage cheese and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. It gets some cheesecake vibes from a splash of almond extract. Maple syrup sweetens the mixture without being overpowering. You can also use honey or dates.

1/2 tsp almond extract
