High-Protein Chocolate Ice Cream

This creamy, chocolatey high-protein ice cream is a healthy dessert that tastes rich and indulgent with just a handful of simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (240 g)
• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (15 g)
• 2 tbsp honey (40 g)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings or chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese, banana, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed so no lumps remain.
3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe glass container and spread it evenly.
4. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until firm but still scoopable.
5. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
6. Scoop into bowls and top with dark chocolate shavings if desired before serving.

Tip: For an even thicker, creamier texture, freeze the banana in slices before blending.
