Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat recommended)
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup sweetener (sugar or substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract into a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This step is key to avoiding a grainy texture.
- Pour the smooth mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop like ice cream.
- Allow the mixture to soften slightly on the counter for about 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy your taste of nostalgia!
Notes
- Using full-fat cottage cheese helps achieve a richer, creamier texture.
- If you prefer a thicker texture, you can use less milk initially.
- Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust sweetener if necessary.
- For added flavor, try adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or a few drops of peppermint extract before blending.
