Method
Blend the base
- Add full-fat cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice to a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth with no lumps, about 2 minutes, and the mixture should look thick and uniform.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. Stop when the flavor matches your preference, keeping the texture smooth.
Freeze and scoop
- Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 4 hours until firm enough to scoop.
- Let the container sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. The surface should soften slightly so the scoop holds its shape.
- Scoop into bowls and top with fresh berries or chocolate chips. Serve immediately after adding toppings.
Notes
Pro tip: blend longer if you still see tiny curds—complete smoothness is what prevents graininess. Store covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks; thaw for 5 minutes before scooping. For a lower-sugar option, swap honey/maple syrup for a sugar-free alternative and blend as directed.
