Why Cottage Cheese Ice Cream?

Cottage cheese has been trending for good reason — it’s high in protein, naturally creamy, and blends beautifully into ice cream without tasting “cheesy.” Paired with the clean fuel of FORALL protein powder, you get a dessert that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also helps you hit your daily protein goals.

Ingredients

• 12 oz cottage cheese (whole milk for creamier texture)

• 1 ½ scoops FORALL protein 

• 3–4 Medjool dates (pitted)

• 1/4 cup honey (option to adjust based on desired sweetness)

• ¼ tsp sea salt

• Splash of almond milk or regular milk (if needed for blending)

Instructions

1. In a high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, dates, FORALL protein powder, sea salt, and sweetener if using. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

2. Pour mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container. Freeze upright for at least 8 hours or overnight.

3. Place the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami and run the Lite Ice Cream function.

4. If the texture looks crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp of milk and re-spin until smooth and creamy.

5. Scoop into a bowl, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, or drizzle with a little nut butter for extra decadence.

Protein Breakdown

This recipe can contain 50–55g of protein per pint depending on the type of cottage cheese and milk you use. That’s more protein than many full meals — all inside a sweet, scoopable dessert.
