This ice cream bowl made with a base of cottage cheese is the creamiest, dreamiest breakfast, dessert or snack.  It’s a guilt-free, perfect treat for anyone craving a deliciously satisfying frozen bowl of awesomeness.

Viral TikTok trends have become a hallmark of internet culture, and one of the recent sensations that took the platform by storm was the creation of cottage cheese ice cream. This unexpected and seemingly unusual combination gained immense popularity, captivating the taste buds and curiosity of TikTok users around the world.

The world of desserts and sweets is constantly evolving, with new trends and flavors being introduced every day. One such trend that has been making waves in recent times is the cottage cheese ice cream trend.

At its core, this dessert is a fusion of two classic treats: cheesecake and ice cream. The result is a creamy, tangy and sweet dessert that is perfect for those who love the taste of both.

When I saw this high protein ice cream made of cottage cheese on my TikTok for you page I knew I had to try it. I mean, come on!

I have to admit – I was completely sceptical of the viral cottage cheese ice cream trend. As a fitness professional, I have seen SO many “healthy” food trends come and go, and honestly, a lot just kind of fall flat.

But I decided to give it a try with this chunky monkey cottage cheese ice cream, and holy moly – I was so impressed! The cottage cheese gives the ice cream such creaminess, and gives a subtle cheesecake flavor, too. Plus it adds protein!

It is amazing! Literally amazing. This weird frozen cottage cheese concoction is actually not weird at all. I can tell you for certain that this high protein treat is better than any of those healthy or low calorie ice creams you can find at the grocery store.

With a deliciously rich flavor, creamy consistency, and thick texture … this homemade dessert looks, feels, and tastes like the real deal. I promise you … it is SO GOOD! And no … you can’t taste the cheese one bit.

Its just as it sounds, cottage cheese that’s been blended or whipped to a light, fluffy consistency – similar to yogurt. It has a delightful mouthfeel, with a perfect blend of creamy, tangy, and a little salty.

Because cottage cheese is relatively low in carbohydrates, many who are on the keto diet or another low-carb eating plan are including it in their diets.

Cottage cheese is really good for you. Not only is it full of protein and packed with nutrients, but it is low in calories. About 80% of the protein in cottage cheese is casein, which is slowly absorbed by your body, and is ideally consumed before sleep for muscle synthesis.

That makes cottage cheese the ideal evening snack with 28 grams of protein per cup, healthy fats and fibre as well as added vitamins and antioxidants, depending on what fruits and nuts you use as toppings.

To harness the true power of cottage cheese, you need to whip it. This goes especially for people – who believe they don’t like cottage cheese and I think the issue is related to texture. But when you give cottage cheese a trip through the food processor or blender, the textural conundrum goes away. All you are left with is a creamy, airy mousse like treat.

If you want a healthy, balanced sweet treat that still feels indulgent or if you are looking for a way to add more protein to your everyday diet then this quick and easy whipped cottage cheese dessert is definitely for you!

In conclusion, the cottage cheese ice cream trend is a delicious and unique dessert that is taking the world by storm. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and burst of fruity sweetness, it is no wonder that this dessert is becoming a favorite among foodies everywhere.

It is simply a must make!

Homemade Chocolate Protein Spread

Discover homemade healthy chocolate protein spread and you will never buy it at the store again. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and SO easy to make!

Super rich and creamy, it effortlessly holds its own with any of the chocolate spreads at the grocery store. And yet the homemade version also has fewer than half the calories per serving.

It’s much healthier than store-bought, without sacrificing any of the kid friendly classic chocolate taste that we all know and love. This sugar-free Nutella version is creamy and smooth, with a rich chocolate hazelnut flavor.

I have been making sugar-free chocolate spread for well over a decade now. And in fact, I may have been the first person to develop a recipe for it. It was way back in 2011, when I was craving some chocolatey deliciousness and it’s been a favorite ever since.

I was astonished that it was so easy to make my own homemade version. Best of all, I like it even better than the original. Because it is less tooth-achingly sweet, the chocolate hazelnut flavor shines through even more.

My whole family loves this delicious spread. We put it on everything - slathering on toast, drizzling on crêpes, mixing into cookie dough, on pancakes, cheesecake, puddings, smoothies and smoothie bowls  – you name it, we will drizzle this over it. But I am also not above spooning it right out of the jar and straight into my mouth.

Its a decadent and healthy addition to breakfast, dessert or healthy snacks.
