Ingredients
Instructions
1. Combine Ingredients in Blender: Add the full-fat cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. There should be no visible lumps of cottage cheese. This might take 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is incorporated. The mixture should look like a thick, pourable milkshake.
3. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly to combine.
4. Pour into a Freezer-Safe Container: Transfer the smooth cottage cheese mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. A loaf pan or a glass dish with a lid works well.
5. Freeze Until Firm: Place the container in the freezer. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop. For an even firmer texture, you can freeze it overnight.
6. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately!
