Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Blend Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Incorporate Browned Butter: Pour the cooled brown butter into the blended cottage cheese mixture. Stir gently until fully combined and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture into a suitable container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.
Notes
- Make sure the brown butter is cooled before mixing it with the cottage cheese to avoid melting the mixture.
- For a smoother texture, blend the mixture longer or strain the cottage cheese before blending.
- To soften the ice cream before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
- Honey amount can be adjusted based on preferred sweetness.
