Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat recommended for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth. You want to ensure there are absolutely no curds left, resulting in a silky chocolate liquid.
- Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container or a loaf pan. Add the dark chocolate chips into the mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the chips in so they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate base. Smooth out the top with the back of your spoon.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours. For the best texture, stir the mixture every 45 minutes for the first two hours to keep it aerated and creamy. Before serving, let it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
