This ice cream is trending on social media for good reason. When it’s taken out of the freezer and softened, it’s thick and creamy, just like the real thing. But it is rich in protein thanks to cottage cheese. And boy, is it delicious – it seriously tastes like strawberry ice cream or froyo.
A similar recipe calls for full-fat cottage cheese, but I used a 1% reduced-fat variety to reduce calories and saturated fat. If you’re on the fence just because you don’t eat cottage cheese, I totally get it. ) really enjoyed it. Turned into an indulgent indulgence with great flavors.. In fact, you can customize it based on what you like and what you have on hand (different berries, peaches, mangoes, maple syrup, etc.). Grab your spoon and prepare to pass out.
