If you're in the mood for something sweet, chances are cottage cheese isn't the first thing you reach for. On its own, cottage cheese has a relatively bland taste, somewhere between ricotta cheese and plain yogurt. And though it does make for a sweeter treat when paired with fruit, cottage cheese is still more of a breakfast item than a dessert. But technically, that's only the case if you serve it straight from the tub. As people on TikTok have been discovering lately, if you blend cottage cheese until smooth, it'll become the perfect base for a surprisingly tasty ice cream substitute.
Let's be real: Cottage cheese ice cream will never fully hold a candle to actual ice cream, but if you're looking for a way to increase your protein intake while also enjoying the classic dessert, using cottage cheese is a smart way to go about it. It has a whopping 218 percent more protein than vanilla ice cream, according to calculations by SouperSage. In fact, the texture of cottage cheese ice cream is similar to that of protein powder ice cream, except it only uses a single ingredient for its base, and the source of protein isn't ultra-processed. Regardless, the ice cream still turns out rich and creamy.
