Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest for extra freshness
• Additional honey or maple syrup to taste
• Fresh blueberries for garnish
• Chopped nuts for added crunch

Instructions

1. Place the cottage cheese, frozen blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract into a food processor or high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl or blender jar.
3. Continue blending until the mixture becomes completely smooth, thick, and creamy. The frozen blueberries will give the ice cream its beautiful purple color and naturally sweet flavor.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
5. For a bright citrus twist, blend in the optional lemon zest.
6. Serve immediately for a soft-serve style texture that is smooth and creamy.
7. If you prefer a firmer, scoopable ice cream consistency, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 20–30 minutes before serving.
8. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh blueberries if desired.

Serving Suggestions

This blueberry cottage cheese ice cream is delicious on its own, but it can also be topped with granola, crushed graham crackers, toasted almonds, or extra fresh berries for added flavor and texture. It makes a refreshing dessert for warm days and a nutritious snack that both kids and adults will love.

Helpful Tips

• Use frozen blueberries for the best thick and creamy texture.
• Full-fat cottage cheese creates the richest and smoothest result.
• If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a tablespoon of milk.
• Store leftovers in the freezer and allow them to soften slightly before serving.
