COTTAGE CHEESE ICE CREAM??

The latest “healthy” ice cream is based on cottage cheese! Have you heard of or tried it?

Here is my experience:

I do like cottage cheese so I was not turned off by this. It does sound kinda weird but when you thoroughly blend cottage cheese, the consistency is amazing. Also, it is high in protein which is always amazing.

Add cottage cheese (NOT fat free), your sweetener of choice (I always choose sugar free maple syrup) and frozen strawberries. I like to add a banana for extra flavor and sweetness. The amount of each ingredient is really up to you! Trial and error will help you get the best result.

Add these all to a food processor or blender and BLEND THOROUGHLY. Blend longer than you think you need to. Then add to a freezer safe bowl with a lid and throw in the freezer.

It is tedious, but to get the best consistency and result, you must go in and stir every so often. I start checking on it after the first hour. This helps prevent crystallization which may happen from the natural occurring sugar in the fruit. Also, using cottage cheese with milk fat in it, helps get the creamy texture too.

After a few hours and stirs, once it is to a good creamy texture, go ahead and eat! It tastes more like a strawberry cheesecake flavor than strawberry banana. I will make this again!
