3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Fruit Ice Cream Recipe
I was genuinely surprised by how delicious this cottage cheese berry ice cream turned out—the honey completely masks any sourness from the cottage cheese, leaving you with a sweet, creamy treat!
It’s healthy, high-protein, and a fantastic alternative to store-bought ice creams, plus kids absolutely adore it.
Freezing it for exactly three hours is key for the creamiest texture—if it sits longer, just let it soften at room temperature for a bit before digging in.
How to Make This 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Berry Ice Cream?
This dessert couldn’t be simpler—just blend lean cottage cheese, your favorite frozen fruit (think strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries), and a sweetener like honey, then freeze for three hours.
You can mix it up with any fruit you love, and if honey’s not your thing, swap it for maple syrup or agave syrup. It’s a high-protein, guilt-free treat that’s as fun to make as it is to eat!
When to Serve This Dessert?
Serve this frozen delight at summer playdates, after-dinner treat nights, or as a cool snack on a hot day—it’s a hit with kids and adults alike.
It’s perfect for healthy potlucks, post-workout refuels, or anytime you’re craving something sweet without the heavy stuff. Keep it in your back pocket for those “I need a quick dessert” moments!
How to Store Cottage Cheese Berry Ice Cream?
Store this in a covered plastic container in the freezer, where it’ll keep for up to a month.
For the best creamy texture, enjoy it within the first few days after the initial 3-hour freeze; if it’s been frozen longer, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften before scooping. If it feels too firm, give it a quick stir to bring back that smooth consistency.
