Scale
Ice Cream Base
- 1 cup reduced fat cottage cheese
- 1 banana
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the reduced fat cottage cheese, banana, powdered peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and maple syrup in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Portion the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture evenly into two separate containers to create two individual portions.
- Freeze to Set: Place the containers in the freezer for at least one hour to allow the mixture to firm up into a scoopable ice cream. Before serving, remove from the freezer and let it soften slightly to make scooping easier.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat but maintains the peanut flavor; you can substitute with regular peanut butter for a richer taste but higher fat content.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or a sugar substitute depending on preference or dietary needs.
- This recipe is great for a quick, high-protein dessert or snack with minimal preparation.
