Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• Full-fat cottage cheese – creates that creamy cookie dough base
• Cocoa powder – rich chocolate flavor
• Natural peanut butter – healthy fats and indulgent taste
• Swerve – keeps it sugar free with sweet satisfaction
• Almond flour – adds structure and cookie dough consistency
• Vanilla extract & salt – boosts flavor depth

For the Ice Cream:

• Full-fat cottage cheese – the high-protein base
• Natural peanut butter – creamy and nutty richness
• Swerve – sweetens it up the keto way
• Vanilla extract, salt & guar gum – texture, flavor, and freeze-stability

Instructions

• First, make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough and divide it into 12 equal balls. You’ll use 6 for the bottoms and 6 for the tops.
• Tip: The dough can be sticky, so refrigerate it for 10 minutes to make it easier to shape.
• While the dough chills, blend all ice cream ingredients in a food processor until silky smooth. Keep busy so you don’t “accidentally” eat all the cookie dough before the sandwiches are ready.
• Press 6 of the chilled dough balls into flat, round discs, about the size of your mini muffin cup bottoms.
• Place each flattened disc into a silicone mini muffin tray like this one for easy release later.
• Spoon the ice cream mixture evenly over the 6 dough bases.
• Flatten the remaining 6 dough balls. Gently press them on top to sandwich the ice cream layer.
• Freeze the keto ice cream sandwiches in freezer-safe container until fully set – at least 3-4 hours or overnight for best texture.

Expert Tips

• Room temperature cottage cheese blends smoother – no lumps!
• Use guar gum to prevent ice crystals and keep the texture creamy.
• Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra crunch.
• Let them thaw on your counter for 2–3 minutes for the best texture.
• Store in a freezer-safe airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Ingredient Swaps

• Swap almond flour with sunflower seed flour for nut-free
• Use monk fruit, stevia, erythritol or allulose if preferred over Swerve
• Try peanut butter powder for a stronger flavor punch

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the freezer up to 1 month
• Wrap individually in plastic wrap for easy grab-and-go snacks
