Creamy and perfectly sweet, this high protein ice cream so easy to blend together and dig in. It's naturally sweetened without refined sugar and customizable with additional add-ins like chocolate chunks or crushed nuts. The homemade caramel drizzle is optional, but compliments the ice cream SO well, and then hardens into little chunks of caramel heaven!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Blend cottage cheese, protein powder, vanilla, maple syrup, and salt together until smooth, scraping the sides as needed
Add pitted dates and blend again to break dates down into small chunks
Pour into small dish / loaf tin and freeze 3-4 hours. Scoop and enjoy!
Make caramel by whisking all ingredients together. Pour overtop your serving OR mix in with ice cream before freezing; it tastes great as caramel frozen chunks!

Notes

The best texture is right at that 3-4 hour mark. Ice cream will harden more if left overnight. Let thaw 15-20min before enjoying for best texture again! you can leave protein powder out without overly affecting the texture
