Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup/agave as a substitute)
- 1 frozen banana
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
Instructions
Blend the Base:
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, honey, and frozen banana.
- Blend until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
2. Add Peanut Butter Swirls:
- Transfer the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Add dollops of natural peanut butter across the top.
- Using a butter knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the mixture for a marbled effect.
3. Freeze:
- Cover the container and place it in the freezer for about 4 hours, or until firm.
4. Serve:
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop into bowls and enjoy this creamy, protein-packed treat!
Notes
- For a sweeter ice cream, add an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- If the ice cream becomes too firm, let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping.
- Using full-fat cottage cheese creates a creamier texture, but low-fat can also be used.
