Ingredients
- 16 ounces cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup honey, or date syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 5 pitted dates
Instructions
- First, add the cottage cheese, honey, vanilla, and sea salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of your blender.
- Then, add in the pitted dates. Blend until the dates are still a little chunky.
- Transfer this mixture to a larger bowl or bread pan. Add a honey drizzle on top if desired. Freeze for at least one hour for soft serve, or 4 hours for thicker ice cream.
- Finally, remove from the freezer. Scoop and serve!
Notes
- For the creamiest ice cream, use full fat cottage cheese.
- If desired, replace the honey with pure maple syrup or date syrup.
- Blend the dates until they are mostly broken up, but still a little chunky.
- For soft serve, freeze for one hour.
- For more traditional ice cream, freeze for up to 4 hours.
- Store covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
