Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries divided
- 1/3 cup sugar-free syrup or honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 keto graham crackers* optional
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, chopped strawberries, sugar-free syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Crush the graham crackers into small pieces.
- Gently fold the crushed graham crackers into the blended cottage cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or freezer container, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining crushed graham crackers and more chopped strawberries on top.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
- Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm. Stir the ice cream every 15 minutes for the first 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, let it thaw for at least 30 minutes, then scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your delicious Cottage Cheese Strawberry Ice Cream!
Notes
- Opt for full-fat cottage cheese for a richer and creamier texture in your ice cream.
Make sure the cottage cheese mixture is well blended for a smoother ice cream texture. - Stirring the ice cream while it freezes helps prevent large ice crystals from forming, resulting in a creamier consistency.
- If you're short on time, you can let the ice cream freeze for just 1-2 hours. In this case, you can scoop and serve it right away.
- However, if you've frozen it longer, remember to let it thaw for at least 30 minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.
