This High Protein Strawberry Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is not only incredibly easy to make, it’s also packed full of protein, vitamins, and nourishing fats.
Start by making the crumb (if you choose to). Toss hazelnuts (or any other nuts), Swerve, and butter into your food processor, high-powered blender or immersion blender. Pulse until you get a nice, crumbly texture. Set aside.
Next, it’s ice cream time! In the same food processor, blend full-fat cottage cheese, half of the strawberries, Swerve, and Xanthan Gum (if you choose to) until you achieve a creamy texture.
Pour the ice cream mixture into two 6oz (200ml) freezer-safe containers or one 12oz freezer-safe container. This is great for portion control and ensures you won’t be tempted to eat it all in one go!
Sprinkle the top with your crumb mixture and the rest of the strawberries. Pop it in the freezer and freeze it for a minimum of 2 hours.
Notes
Why Xanthan Gum? By adding just a pinch of Xanthan Gum to your ice cream mixture, you can prevent it from freezing into a solid brick. For those who prefer a gadget to do the heavy lifting, the Ninja ice cream maker is another excellent option.
