    Tips for Success

    • Mix up the flavor! Technically, you can make any flavor of cottage cheese ice cream that you’d like. Simply replace the blueberry jam with any other flavor of jam! Strawberry, raspberry, or peach would all be lovely flavors here.
    • Serve your ice cream in a cone, bowl, or as an ice cream sandwich with your favorite cookies!
    • Top off the blueberry cottage cheese ice cream with fresh blueberries, whipped cream, and crushed graham crackers if desired.

    Frequently Aked Questions

    How long can I freeze blueberry cottage cheese ice cream?

    You can store your blueberry ice cream in an air tight freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months! A great hack is to store the ice cream in the same cottage cheese container. If you are freezing for a longer period than the initial 4 hours, this ice cream will have a thicker texture than most ice creams, so you might want to let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping.

    Can I use low fat cottage cheese in ice cream?

    Technically, yes. But the flavor won’t be as good! If you want a creamy texture that is close to traditional ice cream, go for full fat cottage cheese. If you don’t mind an icier texture, then you can use a low fat cottage cheese instead. Totally up to you!
