Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
Description
Cottage Cheese Ice Cream starts by blending full-fat cottage cheese with honey and peanut butter to achieve a creamy consistency. The chocolate chips added afterward provide chocolate bursts throughout. After blending, the mixture is frozen for several hours before serving, allowing it to firm up yet remain scoopable with a brief thaw. The texture is dense and smooth, with the flavor coming primarily from the peanut butter and honey sweetness, complemented by the cottage cheese’s mild tang.
This dessert benefits from being refrigerated or frozen well in advance. It can be served as a refreshing treat anytime and suits those seeking a home-made frozen confection without traditional ice cream base ingredients like heavy cream or eggs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 oz) cottage cheese I used Good Culture, full fat
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions

- Add mixture back into the cottage cheese container or a loaf pan and place in the freezer for about 4 hours, or until hard.
- Remove from the freezer, let thaw for 5-10 minutes, just until you can easily scoop it. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop into bowls and enjoy.
