Equipment

  • Food processor or high-powered blender
  • Freezer-safe container or loaf pan
  • Ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (16 oz) full-fat cottage cheese we used Good Culture
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add the cottage cheese, honey, and peanut butter to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips manually to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the mixture into the empty cottage cheese container or a loaf pan. Smooth the top, then place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until it hardens.
  • When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow it to thaw for 5–10 minutes until it softens slightly for easy scooping.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to serve it into bowls. Enjoy immediately!
