Instructions
- To use an ice cream maker, ensure the bowl has been frozen for at least 24 hours. Combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend for at least 60 seconds, or until it's very smooth with no chunks of cottage cheese remaining.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and process for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it has a soft-serve consistency. Serve right away, or transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and freeze for one more hour. (This will make it slightly firmer and more scoopable; if you freeze it overnight, the ice cream will become icy and hard.)
- Leftover ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months, but it will not be as easy to scoop as it is when you first make it. (See the photos in the post.) Its icy texture turns into more of a "creamy shaved ice," which is also delicious, but it will need to be scraped out of the pan, rather than scooped.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 1/2 cup of ice cream, or a quarter of this batch. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it's just an estimate and not a guarantee.
- No ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze (covered) for 6 to 8 hours. In this case, it will have a hard, icy texture and will likely be served more as a creamy shaved ice consistency. My kids love this but prepare for an icy result rather than a scoopable one. Let it rest on the counter for up to 30 minutes if you find it difficult to remove from the pan.
