It's healthy, it's simple, and it's likely going to be your fave snack this season.
Not everyone's a fan of cream cheese, but there's no denying how versatile it is. From lasagna to cake frosting, it's the secret ingredient in many dishes, but even we were a little shocked when we heard about how it can make for a creamy and healthy frozen treat.
In recent months, the secret got out as TikTokers showed audiences around the world how to make ice cream using the dairy product as a base. They explained how it not only makes for deliciously creamy ice cream, but explained how it comes together in minutes, is easy to customize, and contains over 50 grams of protein!
Since it's currently all the rage, we're sure you'd like to try it out, so here's our 2-ingredient recipe. It'll get you cooled down in no time!
Ingredients (for 2 people)
Instructions:
You'll be able to enjoy the ice cream knowing it's actually kind of good for you! Cottage cheese is a low calorie food, with just over 100 calories in a cup. This recipe uses 2 cups which means in all, it's less than 300 calories - not bad for a creamy treat! We also use honey, which can be replaced by maple syrup, but we think the former is a healthy and more natural option.
Good to know: You can also make this recipe vegan, by using thick, non-dairy yogurt. Yum!
