If you’re reading this, I’m sure you’ve already seen this recipe on Tiktok cause it’s one of the most trending ice cream recipes right now. I think this low calorie banana cottage cheese ice cream deserves to be in the spotlight cause it’s truly delicious, easy to make and comes together perfectly when you use the right ingredients.
Unlike other ice cream recipes with condense milk or other high fructose syrups, this one is healthy because you’re using healthy ingredients like maple syrup to prevent ice crystals from forming in the ice cream when freezing. Note: low fat and low sugar ice cream are usually harder to scoop than regular ice cream.

How To Make Banana Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
To make this delicious low calorie banana cottage cheese ice cream, simply add the banana, cottage cheese, honey and vanilla to a high-speed blender and blend until extra creamy. You want to make sure your ice cream is extra smooth so I recommend blending for an extra minute.
Transfer your cream into a lined tray or a bowl with a lid and freeze for one hour. Remove from the freezer and let it sit on the kitchen counter for 10 minutes before scooping and serving with some chocolate sprinkles and some fresh slices of bananas.

Can You Use Low Fat Cottage Cheese For Ice Cream?
Yes you can use low-fat cottage cheese for ice cream but it will alter the texture and make your ice cream icier instead of creamier. However, adding a liquid sweetener and letting the ice cream thaw for about ten minutes after removing it from the freezer will help give it a creamier texture.
