keto friendly cottage cheese ice cream
Ingredients:
– 2 cups cottage cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: sugar-free toppings or mix-ins like berries, dark chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
2. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine to churn the ice cream. This typically takes around 20-30 minutes.
3. If desired, add any sugar-free toppings or mix-ins during the last few minutes of churning. You can swirl in berries, sprinkle in dark chocolate chips, or add chopped nuts.
4. Once the ice cream reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to firm up.
5. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe by pouring the mixture into a shallow dish and placing it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove it from the freezer and stir vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process 3-4 times until the ice cream reaches the desired consistency.
Remember to adjust the sweetness and flavorings according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your keto-friendly cottage cheese ice cream!
