Let’s dive into this yummy recipe!
| Preparation Time | 10-15 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 180-240 minutes |
| Total Time | 190-255 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Easy |
Ingredients
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 container full-fat cottage cheese (finely blended for a smooth texture)
- 6 dates (pitted, for natural sweetness and caramel notes)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (I use Simply Organic vanilla extract)
Step 1: Prepare the Base Mixture
In a food processor or blender, combine 1 container (16 oz) of full-fat cottage cheese, ¼ cup of honey, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add and Blend the Dates
Add 6 dates to the blender.
If the dates are hard, soften them in water for about 5 minutes before adding them to the mixture.
Blend again until the dates are broken up but not fully blended, leaving small chunks for texture.
Step 3: Transfer and Freeze
Transfer the ice cream mixture to a bowl or a loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Place the container in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 3-4 hours until the ice cream is set.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once the ice cream is fully set, scoop out servings as desired.
Enjoy your creamy and refreshing homemade cottage cheese ice cream!

😇🙏🏽🌷
Would this lovely recipe work in a creami machine?
Yes it will work 🙂
Is the dates the ” caramel” sauce?? 6 dates make all this sauce looks like a lot in picture
There is no sauce. The Dates are added for crunch.
So how do you get caramel into this ice cream?
calories?
This ice cream is delicious and so rich I’m eating about a quarter as much as usual for a serving! Getting more dates so I can keep this treat available.
Thank you so much Kathi 🙂
