This creamy, dreamy Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is protein-packed perfection! Add your favorite toppings and mix-ins to make this easy recipe your own. It’s perfect when you want a little treat!
Better-for-you ice cream that’s crave-worthy too.
I’m a firm believer in the everything-in-moderation policy, which means I am more than happy to dive into a pint of Ben & Jerry’s at the end of a long day.
But this cottage cheese ice cream is so good, I get (almost) as much satisfaction from it as the real deal.
(I mean, it doesn’t have the fudgy fish, caramel, and marshmallows, but you can add your own mix-ins if you’re feeling ambitious. Just sayin’.)
You can make this cottage cheese ice cream without an ice cream maker, or you can churn it for a texture that’s closer to traditional ice cream. Options: you have them!
Because it’s made with cottage cheese, protein powder, and nut butter, you get 18 grams of protein in each scoop, which means this is a healthy ice cream that satisfies too.
It’s easy to change up the flavor with different extracts and mix-ins, along with your favorite toppings. Making this into a breakfast banana split is definitely on my agenda!
