Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 16 oz container full fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 peach, chopped with pit removed
Mix-ins
- 1/3 cup graham crackers
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients: Add the full-fat cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and chopped peaches to a food processor or blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add graham crackers: Fold in the graham crackers into the blended mixture. You want the crackers to be broken up for texture but not completely pulverized, so pulse or stir gently at this stage.
- Freeze the ice cream: Transfer the mixture into a bowl or loaf pan. Place it in the freezer for about 3 to 3.5 hours until the ice cream is set and firm enough to scoop.
- Serve and enjoy: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and crunchy peach pie-inspired treat.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe and sweet peaches to enhance natural flavor.
- The graham crackers add a delightful crunch; adjust quantity based on your preference.
- This ice cream is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal texture.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture; low-fat versions may result in icier consistency.
- If you don’t have graham crackers, digestive biscuits or similar mildly sweet crackers can be used.
