Ingredients
  

2 cups low-fat cottage cheese

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Pinch of salt

Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

    Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill. This helps with the freezing process and improves the texture.

      Churn the Ice Cream: If you have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

        Add Mix-Ins (Optional): If you’re adding any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the ice cream during the last few minutes of churning.

          Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours to firm up.

            Serve: Once frozen, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy your creamy, guilt-free treat!
