High-Protein Pistachio Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
¼–½ cup pistachios (shelled)
1–2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
Procedure
Add the cottage cheese, pistachios, and honey to a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.
Freeze for 2–4 hours, or until it reaches an ice cream-like consistency.
If it becomes too firm, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Scoop and enjoy.
Description
By blending cottage cheese with pistachios and a touch of honey, then freezing the mixture, you can make a creamy frozen dessert that is high in protein and contains healthy fats from the pistachios. It’s a simple alternative to traditional ice cream with a more nutrient-dense ingredient profile.
