(WFRV) – It is the viral recipe of the moment. People are making ice cream using cottage cheese for a protein-packed treat.
Chef Ace Champion did some experimenting and came up with a few great flavors.
Caribbean Mango & Pineapple Cottage Cream
Ingredients
1 ½ frozen mango chunks
1 ½ cup pineapple chunks
2 cup cottage cheese, fat level of choice
2 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-3 basil leaf, or mint (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine frozen fruit in a food processor or high-speed blender and process until the mixture resembles a thick puree.
2. Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup and herbs (if using) and continue to puree until the mixture is thick and smooth.
3. For soft-serve-style ice cream, serve immediately with an additional fresh herbs, if desired.
4. The ice cream can be frozen into a loaf pan for hard-scoop ice cream or frozen into molds for popsicles.
Note. For scoopable ice cream, allow loaf pan to thaw in the refrigerator for 2 hours or room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Tip/Note:
For perfectly scoopable ice cream, allow loaf pan to thaw in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
