Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons 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 blender or food processor.
2. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if you want it sweeter.
4. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.
5. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly combined.
6. Cover and freeze for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
7. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Do not skip blending the cottage cheese until fully smooth, or the finished ice cream can have a grainy texture instead of a creamy one.
