A quick and easy homemade dessert featuring creamy cottage cheese blended with frozen berries and honey for a refreshing, tangy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (450g) cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 3 tablespoons (60ml) honey, raw or local
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk or cream (optional, use whole milk, heavy cream, or dairy-free alternatives like almond milk)

Instructions

  1. Scoop 2 cups (450g) of cottage cheese into your blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, no large curds remaining.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons (60ml) honey, 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice. Blend again until well combined.
  3. Add ½ cup (120ml) milk or cream for extra creaminess (optional). Blend briefly to combine.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup (150g) of frozen mixed berries with a spatula, avoiding blending them completely to keep bursts of berry flavor and color.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to prevent icy clumps and encourage smoothness. Alternatively, use an ice cream maker to churn for 20-30 minutes, then freeze to firm up.
  6. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Notes

For creamier texture, use whole milk or heavy cream. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes during freezing if not using an ice cream maker to prevent icy clumps. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. If ice cream gets too hard, thaw for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut or almond-based cottage cheese alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
