When I first made this Mango Cottage Cheese Ice Cream, I was longing for a tropical, refreshing dessert that tasted like pure sunshine. I wanted something creamy and sweet but still nourishing and simple
Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup mango puree
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To Prepare the Ice Cream Base
Step 1: Add the cottage cheese, mango puree, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender or food processor
Step 2: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy
Step 3: Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated
To Freeze the Ice Cream
Step 4: Pour the blended mango mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish
Step 5: Use a spatula to spread the mixture out evenly
Step 6: Place the dish into the freezer
Step 7: Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork or spoon to break up any ice crystals and maintain a creamy texture
Step 8: Continue freezing and stirring for 1–2 hours, or until firm but scoopable
To Serve
Step 9: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping
Step 10: Scoop into bowls, cones, or enjoy straight from the dish
Step 11: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks
