Does it taste like cottage cheese?

Nope. Once it's blended and frozen, it tastes just like chocolate ice cream. The texture is super creamy and smooth.

Can I use a food processor instead of a blender?

Absolutely. A good food processor works just as well. Just blend until completely smooth.

Is this ice cream actually healthy?

Yes. It's high in protein, low in sugar, and made with whole ingredients. It's a smart choice if you're craving something sweet without the sugar crash.

Can I use flavored cottage cheese?

I wouldn't recommend it. Plain cottage cheese gives you more control over the final flavor.

How long will it last in the freezer?

Up to two weeks, but it's usually gone in a day or two.

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, agave, or keto sweetener)

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks.
Taste and adjust sweetness or add-ins if you like.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture. Small curd blends smoother and tastes better in dessert recipes.
Blend it until it’s super smooth. If there are any little lumps left, just scrape the sides and blend again.
Taste before freezing. If you like it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup or a splash of vanilla.
Let it thaw for 5 to 10 minutes after freezing so it scoops like real ice cream.
Want extra flavor? Stir in peanut butter, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts before freezing.
