Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Use decent-quality cottage cheese.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Fancy cocoa is not necessary.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Use honey for a warmer sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) Any milk alternative is fine.
  • Pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, milk, and salt.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or pour it into a container and freeze, stirring occasionally until creamy.
  4. Once frozen to your desired consistency, serve and enjoy.

Notes

Chilling the mixture before churning makes the ice cream more cooperative. For a twist, fold in dark chocolate chunks before the final freeze.
