Ingredients

For the Keto Ice Cream:

• 1 cup full fat cottage cheese (I wouldn’t recommend fat-free cottage cheese)
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (it works great with fresh strawberries as well)
• 1/4 cup swerve (or a keto-friendly sweetener of choice)
• 1/8 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for a smoother texture and NO ice crystals)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the Crumb Topping:

• 1 teaspoon swerve
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup Brazil nuts (blitzed into crumbs)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crumb Topping:
   • In a food processor, blitz the Brazil nuts until they form fine crumbs.
   • Add the swerve and butter to the nut crumbs and blitz again. Set aside.
2. Blend the Ice Cream Base:
   • In the same food processor (no need to clean it) or immersion blender, blend for a couple of minutes the full-fat room temperature cottage cheese. Please note: I would recommend you to use a food processor (with a lid) instead of a handheld mixer, as the cottage cheese “likes to escape”. A high-speed blender (with a lid) will work as well.
   • Add half of the raspberries, swerve, and Xanthan gum to the blended cottage cheese and blitz again until smooth.
   • The Xanthan gum is optional but helps create a creamier texture. If you don’t have it, don’t worry—the ice cream will still be delicious! Read more about Xanthan Gum here!
3. Freeze the Mixture:
   • Pour the cottage cheese mixture into a freezer-safe airtight container.
   • Mix in the prepared crumb topping and the rest of the raspberries.
   • Freeze for 2-3 hours or until firm.
4. Serve and Enjoy!
   • Scoop out the Raspberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream and top with extra raspberries or any other favorite toppings.
   • The result? A delightful keto-friendly dessert that hits the sweet spot without derailing your diet.
