A quick and easy homemade ice cream using cottage cheese for a creamy, tangy, and healthier frozen treat with a luscious texture and subtle vanilla flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (450 g) small-curd, well-drained cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream
  • ⅔ cup (130 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl for 15-20 minutes to remove excess whey.
  2. Transfer the drained cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream (or coconut cream), granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the cream mixture into the blender with the cottage cheese and blend again for about 30 seconds to combine smoothly.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-30 minutes, until thick and creamy.
  7. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
  8. No ice cream maker option: Pour the chilled mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish, freeze for 30 minutes, then stir vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until creamy and frozen.

Notes

Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid icy texture. Blend until ultra-smooth to prevent graininess. Chill mixture well before churning. Do not over-churn to avoid buttery texture. Use fresh vanilla extract and good-quality cream for best flavor. No ice cream maker needed if using no-churn method with frequent stirring.
