Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for 3-5 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. Stir every hour for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals and achieve a smoother texture.

- Stir in fresh fruit or chocolate chips during the last hour of freezing.
- If you have a Ninja Creami, you can process the frozen mixture in it for an even creamier texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
