Ingredients
2 cups 4% milkfat cottage cheese
1/3 cup raw or clover honey
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries (fresh or thawed)
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and no curds remain.
Fold in the mixed berries gently if you prefer texture, or blend them in for a uniform color.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe airtight container.
Freeze for at least 4 hours until the ice cream is set.
Let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes before scooping to achieve the best consistency.
Notes
Use a high-speed blender to ensure the curds are fully pulverized for a silky mouthfeel. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can add an extra tablespoon of honey. Keep it stored in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface.
