Cottage cheese is the secret to rich, creamy ice cream! This low-carb cottage cheese ice cream tastes like soft serve.
Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
Yes, you read that correctly. This is a recipe for ice cream made out of cottage cheese.
You have to try it! It’s sweet without being overpoweringly rich and since you puree everything in a food processor, there aren’t any distracting cheese curds from the cottage cheese.
I made a vanilla ice cream with sprinkles instead of making a specific flavor. Most people like vanilla ice cream the most.
Plus, when you have vanilla ice cream, you have more freedom to add whatever toppings you want!
Are Sprinkles Keto
No, regular sprinkles are not keto-friendly. That’s why it’s important to find some sugar-free sprinkles.
If you can’t find sugar-free sprinkles, then grab a sugar-free chocolate bar and grate it. Now you’ll have keto-friendly chocolate shavings on top instead of sprinkles.
With the sprinkles, this ice cream reminds me of birthday party cupcakes! This recipe makes about four servings.
So, if you’re going to serve it at a party, I suggest making a double batch.
No one can tell that this ice cream is sugar-free or made with cottage cheese. It will disappear!
Low-Carb Ice Cream
When it comes to low-carb desserts, this ice cream is higher in carbs. That’s why I called it low-carb ice cream instead of keto ice cream.
There are six grams net carbs in each serving. There are 8 grams carbs in one cup of cottage cheese and most of the carbs are coming from that!
Even with the high carb count, this is still a recipe that can fit in with your keto diet. In fact, when you’re seriously craving Dairy Queen, this can help you satiate those cravings without going over on your macros.
What To Eat With Ice Cream
Ice cream goes with almost any dessert that you make! Add some keto air fryer cinnamon sugar twists to a bowl of ice cream or go healthier and make some keto chocolate chip zucchini muffins with it.
If you’re going to serve the ice cream at a party, then make some low-carb cream cheese peach roll-ups or keto TikTok chocolate covered blueberry bites with the ice cream.
How Long Does Homemade Ice Cream Last
Homemade ice cream will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months. This ice cream will freeze really solid, so before you serve it, let it set at room temperature for a bit.
If it gets any air on it, it will increases the chances of freezer burn. Keep it sealed completely when you put it in the freezer.
