Ingredients
  

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: chopped dark chocolate, sliced bananas, or crushed nuts

Instructions
 

Blend Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Taste Test: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary. You can add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.

      Chill: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help enhance the flavors.

        Churn: Once the mixture is chilled, transfer it to an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, simply pour the mixture into a shallow container.

          Freeze (if not using ice cream maker): If using the shallow container method, place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours until it firms up, achieving the creamy texture of ice cream.

            Serve: Scoop the chocolate cottage cheese ice cream into bowls, topped with your choice of toppings like chopped dark chocolate, sliced bananas, or crushed nuts.

              Enjoy: Dive into your guilt-free treat and relish the rich chocolatey goodness!
