Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer.
- Freeze and Stir: Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a spoon for the first 2-3 hours to break up any ice crystals. This helps achieve a smoother texture.
- Freeze Until Firm: Let the ice cream freeze completely for about 4-6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Serve: Once the ice cream is fully frozen and scoopable, serve and enjoy your creamy peanut butter treat!
- Prep Time: Customize the sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness. Add-ins: Feel free to add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of jelly for a PB&J twist. For extra creaminess: You can use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.
