Ingredients
  

2 cups low-fat cottage cheese

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: dark chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions
 

Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener (honey or maple syrup), almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.

    Taste Test: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend again for a few seconds.

      Chill the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will help enhance the flavors and make the ice cream colder when you churn it.

        Churn the Ice Cream: If you have an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency (usually about 20-30 minutes).

          Freeze for Firmness: For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.

            Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones, and add your favorite toppings like dark chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries. Enjoy your guilt-free treat!
