Cottage cheese ice cream has gone completely viral thanks . I shared a version on Instagram and after seeing so many of you make (and love it), I knew I had to get the recipe up on the blog!

There are many different variations out there, but the base is just 2 simple ingredients: cottage cheese and honey! The version I’m sharing also has peanut butter and chocolate chips and the combo is seriously so good.

Ingredients Needed

• cottage cheese – the key component of this recipe, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor with plenty of protein. I used full-fat Good Culture cottage cheese, but low-fat will work as well. Full fat will definitely be creamier though!
• honey – for the sweetener we’re using honey, which I think pairs nicely with the cottage cheese. Feel free to swap the honey with maple syrup or your preferred liquid sweetener.
• peanut butter – brings a nutty flavor and adds a touch more protein to this recipe! I like the flavor combo of peanut butter, honey and cottage cheese, but if you have a peanut allergy or aren’t a fan of peanut butter feel free to use almond butter or any nut/seed butter of choice.
• chocolate chips – a delicious addition that adds some crunch and chocolatey goodness to the ice cream. I like to use Lily’s dark chocolate chips because they are sweetened with stevia and low in sugar.
