Here’s a Weight Watchers-friendly Cottage Cheese Ice Cream recipe! This ice cream is high in protein and low in sugar, making it a great guilt-free treat. It’s easy to make and perfect for those following the WW program!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or a low-calorie sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit, adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or berries (optional, for mix-ins)
- Ice (for blending)
Instructions:
- Blend the ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (honey or low-calorie sweetener). Blend until smooth and creamy, like the texture of ice cream.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if needed, depending on your preference.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. If you’d like to add mix-ins like chocolate chips or berries, fold them in now. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the cottage cheese ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! You can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it’s too firm to scoop.
Tips:
- Flavor Variations: You can add flavorings like cocoa powder (for chocolate flavor), cinnamon, or even mashed bananas for variety.
- Mix-ins: Try adding mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even fruit for extra texture and flavor.
- Low-calorie sweeteners: For a lower-calorie option, use a non-caloric sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness.
This Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is not only creamy and satisfying but also high in protein, making it a great WW-friendly dessert! Enjoy!
