It isn't actually ice cream at all! It is simply cottage cheese blended up, frozen, scooped, and served in an ice cream style. Kind of like that time everyone blended up frozen bananas and called it ice cream. Nice cream if you will!

You should use a plain cottage cheese with a high fat percentage, 4% - 6% milkfat! I use this .

Cottage Cheese Ice Cream (Viral High Protein Dessert!)

Description

Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is a quick, easy, high protein, and healthy version of the classic dessert! Made with full fat cottage cheese, fresh strawberries, graham crackers, and pure maple syrup .. this viral strawberry cheesecake flavored treat is rich, thick, creamy, and delicious. With 15 grams of protein per serving it is simply a must make! And no … you can’t taste the cheese one bit.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese, full fat or double cream (4% – 6% milkfat)
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
8 graham crackers (2 big sheets, 4 small crackers each), crushed

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, 1/2 the chopped strawberries, and the maple syrup to a food processor or blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Pour the blended cottage cheese into a freezer safe container. Layer with the crushed graham crackers and remaining chopped strawberries. I do cottage cheese mixture, mix-ins, cottage cheese mixture, mix-ins, cottage cheese mixture, and the final mix-ins on top.
Place the container in the freezer to set. It will take about 2-4 hours to freeze completely.
Once frozen, remove the cottage cheese ice cream from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes to thaw slightly. I think if you don’t freeze as long / completely you could probably just scoop and serve right away.
Scoop, serve, and enjoy!
