Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if you want a slightly sweeter frozen dessert.
4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or freezer-safe container and stir in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for 3 to 4 hours until firm and scoopable.
6. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
Blend thoroughly for the smoothest texture and the least cottage cheese graininess.
Letting the ice cream soften before scooping makes it much creamier.
Mini chocolate chips work better than regular chips because they stay evenly distributed.
