  • Total Time: 3 hrs 40 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 17 oz container full fat cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 peach, chopped with pit removed

Add-ins

  • ⅓ cup graham crackers, broken into chunks but not fully blended

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Add the cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and chopped peaches to a food processor or blender. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add graham crackers: Stir in the broken graham crackers by mixing gently. Make sure they are broken into small pieces but not fully blended, to maintain some crunch in the ice cream.
  3. Freeze the mixture: Transfer the blended ice cream base into a bowl or a loaf pan. Cover and freeze it for 3 to 3.5 hours or until the ice cream is fully set.
  4. Serve: Once set, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately for a refreshing and healthy summer dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Ensure the graham crackers are coarsely broken up to add texture rather than a smooth crunch.
  • This recipe contains no added preservatives or artificial ingredients, making it a wholesome option.
  • For a lower fat version, use low-fat cottage cheese but note the creaminess may be slightly reduced.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, a high-speed blender will work well.
