Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
The cottage cheese ice cream trend exploded in 2025, and for good reason. Blended with frozen fruit, cottage cheese turns into a soft-serve style treat that delivers 14g of protein for under 200 calories and skips the ice cream maker entirely.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk (any kind)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Freeze the cottage cheese in a thin layer on parchment for at least 4 hours if you want a firmer scoop; otherwise use cold from the fridge.
- Add cottage cheese, frozen berries, honey, vanilla, milk, and lemon juice to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Process until thick and creamy like soft serve, about 60 seconds.
- Taste and add more honey if the berries are tart.
- Spoon into a bowl and top with chia seeds.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or freeze 30 minutes for a scoopable firmness.
