Cottage Cheese Ice Cream: Taking TikTok by Storm

When I first discovered the trending phenomenon of Cottage Cheese Ice Cream on TikTok, I knew I had to give it a try. Personally, I’ve always been a fan of incorporating cottage cheese into various recipes, such as Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs, Cottage Cheese Apple Breakfast Bowl, Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Bowls, and even No Ricotta Spinach Stuffed Shells. So, naturally, I was excited to explore this new ice cream creation.

The popularity of this recipe started on Instagram, and, of course, I couldn’t resist sharing my own version on the platform. What makes this ice cream truly fascinating is its simplicity. The base of the recipe only requires cottage cheese and honey. However, I decided to have some fun and add my own twist by incorporating banana and swirls of peanut butter into the mix. (For those with a sweet tooth, you can also easily add some chocolate chips!)

Irresistible Ingredients

• Full Fat Cottage Cheese – Not all cottage cheeses are created equal. Different brands use different ingredients, so it’s essential to read the labels before making your selection. Some brands have fillers and preservatives, while others keep it simple with ingredients like milk and cream. For this recipe, I highly recommend using full-fat cottage cheese. Ice cream relies on fats to achieve that creamy texture, and the small 4% fat content in full-fat cottage cheese ensures a creamier result. If you opt for low-fat or no-fat varieties, the ice cream may be less creamy and more icy.

• Honey – Honey is the most common sweetener used in this trending recipe, and it complements the flavors perfectly. However, if you want to experiment with other sweeteners, feel free to give it a try.

• Banana – Whether frozen or not, adding a banana to the mix enhances the consistency. Frozen bananas work particularly well, giving the ice cream a smoother texture. If you don’t have any frozen bananas on hand, a room temperature one will work just fine.

• 100% Peanut Butter – For the swirl effect, it’s best to use 100% peanut butter or a natural peanut butter with a more liquid consistency. This allows the peanut butter to blend seamlessly with the ice cream. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to make your own peanut butter, check out my blog post on How to Make 100% Peanut Butter.

Crafting the Perfect Batch

To create your own delectable Cottage Cheese Ice Cream, follow these simple instructions:

1. Add the cottage cheese, honey, and banana to a blender or food processor. Blend until everything is silky smooth.

2. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Drizzle dollops of peanut butter across the top of the cottage cheese ice cream.

3. Using a butter knife, carefully swirl the peanut butter into the ice cream, creating beautiful patterns.

4. Cover the container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for approximately 4 hours.

5. Before serving, remove the container from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This will ensure the perfect scooping consistency.

6. Scoop the delightful Cottage Cheese Ice Cream into bowls and savor every creamy bite.
