Ingredients

• 2 cups Cottage Cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
• 3 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
• 0.5 cup Peanut Butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
• 0.5 cup Chopped Dark Chocolate or Chocolate Chips
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, honey or maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.

Step 3

Once blended thoroughly, taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup, blending again as needed.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips and the salt until well mixed.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Cover the container with the lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, stir the mixture every hour to achieve a creamy texture.

Step 7

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes so it's easier to scoop.

Step 8

Scoop into bowls and serve with optional toppings like chopped nuts, additional chocolate chips, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter.
