5 FAQs About Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
- Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes, but full-fat gives the creamiest texture. Low-fat versions may be slightly icier.
- How long does it last in the freezer?
It’s best enjoyed within a week. If it gets too hard, let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before scooping.
- Can I add protein powder?
Absolutely! Add ½ scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder for an extra boost.
- What if I don’t like the taste of cottage cheese?
Blending it well removes the grainy texture and absorbs the flavors of vanilla, berries, or chocolate!
- Can I make it dairy-free?
Try using blended silken tofu or dairy-free yogurt for a similar high-protein alternative.
