And so perfect for St. Patty's day! 🍀 It's so creamy, sweet, and you'd never even guess that it's made with cottage cheese. 16 grams of protein and just 6 ingredients! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ >> Full macros and tips for the recipe in the link in my bio! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▢ 3 cups cottage cheese (the higher fat and better quality, the creamier the ice cream! It really makes a difference.) ▢ 1/3 cup maple syrup ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ▢ 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract ▢ 1/2 teaspoon spirulina (optional, for color) ▢ 1 cup chocolate chips (or more!) ▢ OPTIONAL: fresh mint (for garnish) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla, peppermint, and spirulina (optional) in a blender. Blend until smooth, then pour into a container with an airtight lid and freeze for 1 hour. Mix in the chocolate chips, then add the lid back on and freeze for another 3-5 hours. Remove from the freezer and let thaw for 15-20 minutes on the countertop. Break it up with a spoon, then give it a good mix. Scoop, add extra chocolate chips, and enjoy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TIPS: - The secret to getting a creamy texture is to let the ice cream thaw on the countertop for 15-20 minutes, then break it up with a spoon, give it a good mix, and THEN scoop with an ice cream scoop. - Another option is to use the Ninja Creami! - When making Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, it’s best to place it in an airtight ice cream container with a lid and store it in the freezer. Homemade healthy ice cream can store for up to 2 months! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀”
