Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 1 1/2 cups low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

  • blender
  • Freezer-safe container

Method
 

  1. Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender.
  2. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.
  5. Cover and freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once after 90 minutes for a creamier texture.
  6. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.

For the smoothest texture, blend thoroughly until no cottage cheese curds remain visible. If frozen overnight, allow additional time to soften before serving.
