Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup peanut butter

3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1 pinch salt

2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.

3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or peanut butter if needed.

4. Gently fold in chocolate chips or desired mix-ins.

5. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top.

For best results, stir once during freezing to reduce ice crystals.
