High-Protein Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 500 g Cottage cheese (Use a smooth or blended cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.)
• 2 tbsp Honey (Adjust to taste.)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 40 g Oat flour (Used for the homemade cookie dough pieces; heat-treat if desired for extra food safety.)
• 20 g Vanilla protein powder (Estimated ingredient for the cookie dough; the source does not specify the protein powder or amount.)
• 1 tbsp Nut butter (Estimated binder for the cookie dough, such as peanut or almond butter.)
• 2 tbsp Mini chocolate chips (Fold into the cookie dough and reserve some for the ice cream if desired.)
• 1 tbsp Water or milk (Add only as needed to bring the cookie dough together; estimated because the source does not specify it.)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed so no cottage-cheese curds remain.

2. 2

   Prepare the homemade cookie dough pieces by combining the estimated oat flour, protein powder, nut butter, and chocolate chips in a small bowl. Add a little water or milk only if needed, mixing until the dough is thick enough to pinch or roll into small pieces.

3. 3

   Roll or pinch the cookie dough into small bite-size pieces. If making extra cookie dough for snacking, shape the additional mixture into larger balls and refrigerate them separately.

4. 4

   Stir the small cookie dough pieces through the blended cottage-cheese mixture, distributing them evenly without overmixing.

5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and spread it into an even layer. Cover tightly and freeze until set, approximately 3 to 4 hours.

6. 6

   Let the ice cream stand at room temperature for several minutes before serving so it softens slightly. Top with additional cookie dough pieces or chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

The post and transcript do not provide exact ingredient quantities or a complete cookie-dough ingredient list. The cottage-cheese base, honey, vanilla, homemade cookie dough, and freezing method come from the source; the cookie-dough ingredients and measurements are estimated reconstruction. Keep extra cookie dough balls refrigerated and consume within several days. If the frozen mixture becomes very firm, allow it to soften briefly before scooping or blend it again for a smoother texture.
