Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped fresh peaches (peeled, if desired)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups smooth cottage cheese (low fat also works well)
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (I use Coombs Family Farms Grade A Dark Robust)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for best flavor, use pure vanilla extract)
Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese
Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Once blended, pour the mixture into a medium-sized bowl.
This will form the base of your ice cream.
Step 2: Mix in Additional Ingredients
Add the milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the blended cottage cheese.
Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 3: Incorporate Peaches and Prepare for Freezing
Gently fold in the chopped peaches, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a 9×5 loaf pan.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
Step 4: Freeze the Mixture
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until the mixture becomes firm.
For the first 3 hours, stir the mixture every 15 minutes to help it freeze evenly and to create a smoother texture.
Step 5: Thaw and Serve
Before serving, let the ice cream thaw at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
Once thawed, scoop the ice cream into bowls and serve immediately.
Enjoy your homemade cottage cheese peach ice cream!
