How To Make Cottage Cheese Ice Cream:
- Step 1: Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and all of the cottage cheese curds have been broken down.
- Step 2: Chill Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the proper texture during churning.
- Step 3: Prepare Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips: In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up to a scoopable consistency.
- Step 6: Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping and serving.
