Servings 4

Ingredients

1 cup coconut cream or milk
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
1-2 lemons, juice and zest depending on how lemon-y you prefer
2-4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (taste test)

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
Either eat immediately as soft serve or transfer to a dish and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Note that cottage cheese ice cream can become very firm in the freezer, so if it's frozen for too long, let it thaw on the counter for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Scoop into bowls, garnish with lemon zest if desired to serve.
