Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced

Method
 

  1. Using a strainer or cheesecloth, remove liquid from the cottage cheese.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, strawberries, and honey to a food processor and blend until smooth, approximately 60 to 90 seconds. This creates the creamy strawberry cottage cheese base.

Notes

Ice Cream Tips
  • Troubleshooting:
    • Icy Texture: Strain more liquid from the cottage cheese.
    • Too Hard: Use higher-fat cottage cheese or let it thaw longer before scooping.
    • Not Smooth: Blend for an additional 30–60 seconds in the food processor.
  • Topping Ideas:
    • Beyond the standard toppings, try mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, a swirl of berry compote, whipped cream, or colorful sprinkles.
  • Storage:
    • Store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2–3 weeks. To prevent freezer burn, press parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the ice cream's surface before sealing.
