Notes
- Flavors: For this cottage cheese ice cream,I used blueberries, but you can also use strawberries, mango, cherries, raspberries, pineapple, banana or a combination of flavors.
- Sweeteners: Any sweetener works—try maple syrup, agave, date syrup, or a sugar-free option.
- Texture: This is not a traditional ice cream, so it may freeze firm or icy. Let it sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3-4 weeks.
- Mix-ins: Add chocolate chips, nuts, nut butter (can make it creamier), coconut, or cookie crumbs after blending.
