Ingredients
  

2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, peaches, or blueberries work well)

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.

    Add the Fruit: If using fresh fruit, chop them into smaller pieces. If using frozen fruit, ensure it's slightly thawed. Add the fruit to the blended cottage cheese mixture and pulse a few times until the fruit is evenly distributed but still chunky.

      Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if desired. If you'd like it sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup to your liking and blend again briefly.

        Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and smooth the top. Cover and place it in the freezer for about 2-4 hours or until it's firm enough to scoop. For the best texture, stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first two hours.

          Serve: Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls and top with your choice of crushed nuts, chocolate chips, or additional fruit. Enjoy this healthy frozen treat that’s rich in protein and flavor!
