Cottage Cheese Dessert (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
02 -
Pinch of optional salt
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (can skip)
04 -
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey, tweak to your preference
05 -
2 cups full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
In your food processor or blender, toss in cottage cheese, your choice of milk or cream, sweetener like honey or syrup, a bit of vanilla if you'd like, and a small pinch of salt. Blend until the mix is super smooth without any chunks. Check how it tastes and add more sweetener if needed.
02 -
Shift the blended mix into a bowl, cover it up, and stick it in the fridge. Chill it for a couple of hours to get it ready for freezing.
03 -
Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and follow its instructions. Let it churn for about 20–25 minutes until it looks like soft-serve.
04 -
No ice cream maker? No problem. Pour the base into a freezer-safe dish and freeze. Stir it every 30 minutes for a few hours so it doesn’t get icy but stays creamy.
05 -
Once it's at the texture you like, scoop it into an airtight container and freeze for a couple more hours till it hardens fully.
06 -
Serve some scoops of your homemade cottage cheese dessert. Top it with fruits, nuts, or even a little chocolate sauce!
