Summer Snacks & Sides: Strawberry Cheesecake Ice cream
This dessert is a fusion of two classic treats: cheesecake and ice cream. The result is a creamy, tangy and sweet dessert that is perfect for those who love the taste of both. The cottage cheese is also high in grams of protein, satisfying and oh so simple !
Ingredients:
1 cup full fat cottage cheese (My favorite brand is Good Culture)
2/3 cup frozen strawberries
2 tbsp. maple syrup, honey or stevia
1/3 cup Grahm cracker crumbles
Optional: 1 scoop strawberry or vanilla protein powder
Directions:
In a blender or food processor, blend up the cottage cheese. Then add all remaining ingredients except for the graham crackers.
Add to Tupperware or bread loaf pan.
Add additional strawberries and crushed graham crackers for garnish and freeze for 2-3 hours. Don’t freeze longer than 3 hours: The ideal freeze time is 2-3 hours but anything more than that it will become too solid.
Let thaw at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before enjoying your high protein ice cream!
