Strawberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (Viral Protein-Rich Dessert!)

This ice cream is delicious on its own or with additional toppings. Made with full fat cottage cheese and fresh strawberries, this viral delight is rich, thick, creamy, and so darn yummy. With 20 grams of protein per serving it is simply a must make! And no … you can’t taste the cheese one bit.

Servings 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, full fat for creamiest texture (or half in half with thick Greek-style yogurt)
2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen
1 banana, sliced, frozen
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder

Instructions

Place cottage cheese and banana into a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add honey and strawberries and process until well combined but some chunks remain. Add chocolate chips and pulse a couple of times to combine.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary since this also depends on the natural sweetness of your fruit.
Remove the ice cream mixture and place it a freezer-friendly dish. Top it with more strawberries and chocolate chips if desired.
You can eat it right away for a soft serve or freeze for about 2-4 hours. Three hours is usually perfect for me.
Notes: You may want to remove your ice cream from the freezer and wait about 30 minutes so that it can thaw out a bit.
Store any leftover cottage cheese ice cream in a freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. If you wait longer than that, it may become too icy to eat.
Pro Tip: To prevent ice crystals from forming over your ice cream, cover the surface with plastic wrap before closing the lid over it.
