Print Recipe

A quick and simple ice cream made from cottage cheese, peanut butter, and chocolate chips that is creamy, rich, and perfect for a healthy treat or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (340 g) full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup (125 g) natural peanut butter, preferably creamy and slightly runny
  • ½ cup (90 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness

Instructions

  1. Place 1½ cups (340 g) of cottage cheese in your blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy with no visible curds. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to help it blend.
  2. Add ½ cup (125 g) of natural peanut butter to the smooth cottage cheese. Blend again for another 30-45 seconds until fully incorporated and the mixture is thick, creamy, and slightly glossy.
  3. Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Stir in ½ cup (90 g) of chocolate chips gently by hand to keep the chips whole.
  4. Pour the ice cream base into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2-3 hours. For creamier texture, stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
  5. Once firm but scoopable, serve immediately. If the ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth to avoid lumps. Use natural, slightly runny peanut butter for best blending and flavor. Stir the ice cream every 30 minutes during freezing to prevent ice crystals and maintain creamy texture. Let ice cream soften for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
