Ingredients
  

  • 1 (16-ounce) container full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder about ¼ cup, optional
  • ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup nut butter of choice: use cashew butter for a neutral flavor or almond butter or peanut butter
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips or other mix-ins of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a high speed blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese, protein powder, honey, and nut butter until smooth.
    A food processor bowl filled with a smooth, light beige cottage cheese ice cream mixture sits on a white marble countertop.
  • If using an ice cream maker, proceed according to your manufacturer's instructions (for my Ninja Creami, that means freezing the batter for 24 hours and waiting to add the chocolate chips). Or if you are not using an ice cream maker, stir in the chocolate chips, then transfer to a loaf pan.
  • If using a loaf pan: freeze until hard, at least 4 hours. Let soften up a bit at room temperature prior to serving.
  • If using an ice cream maker: Spin according to your machine's instructions. (For a Ninja Creami, use the “Lite Ice Cream Setting.” Make a hole down the center and the chocolate chips. Spin on the “Mix-Ins” setting. If it’s firmer than you would like, add about 1 tablespoon milk and respin once more.)
    An ice cream maker insert with creamy cottage cheese ice cream sits on a marble countertop, next to a metal ice cream scoop and a partially opened bag of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.
