The viral cottage cheese ice cream has been winning our hearts lately. Since it went viral on TikTok, people have been trying this simple recipe at home. There is no hassle, no time-consuming process, and no long list of ingredients. This cottage cheese ice cream is made of four simple ingredients that are quite easily available at home. The ice cream does not require any arrangements like regular ice cream and can be easily made by a beginner as well.
Though cottage cheese may have an unconventional texture, it is rich in protein, low in cholesterol, and packed with numerous nutrients. Cottage cheese can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. Thus, full-fat cottage cheese emerges as the star ingredient for this refreshing ice cream. The creamier it is, the more it will taste delicious. Besides, the additions, namely honey, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, make it a perfect match for the ice cream.
The peanut butter brings a nutty flavour to the ice cream. Although it mimics the texture of ice cream, it is much more protein laden. However, if you’re not a fan of peanut butter, feel free to use almond butter or any nut-seed butter of your choice. The ice cream is sweetened with honey, a natural sweetener that pairs nicely with cottage cheese. You can swap honey for maple sweetener or any other liquid sweetener of your choice. For added crunch and chocolatey goodness, you can even add chocolate chips.
