You need this recipe for creamy, high-protein cottage cheese ice cream. It uses only three simple ingredients to achieve a satisfying, guilt-free frozen dessert texture without needing an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (2% or 4%)
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit, or granulated sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no curds remain. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan or an airtight container.
  4. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the mixture.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until firm.
  6. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

Notes

  • For an even creamier result, you can use a Ninja Creami machine. Blend the ingredients, freeze the mixture in the Ninja pint overnight, and then process according to the machine’s instructions.
  • If you prefer a softer, more ‘soft-serve’ texture, you can churn this mixture in a standard ice cream maker according to its manufacturer’s directions.
  • For a low-carb or keto ice cream base, use a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit or stevia.
