      I am intrigued!

      I actually spontaneously mixed greek yogurt with pumpkin puree and vanilla stevia and froze it the other day and it was pretty darn good. Can't wait to try this!

      Anything with protein and ice-cream in the title gets my attention!

      @Sarauk2sf that's how I felt too ;) haha. I was like hey I have all these ingredients... and man it was really good I'm so glad I tried it! I mean how can you go wrong with sweetened yogurt and peanut butter on top? You really can't. It's just basically a yogurt parfait that's been frozen so it's more like ice cream ;) I think the cottage cheese makes it creamier and you can't taste the protein powder at all so that's pretty nice!

      I forgot to mention if you add cocoa powder, try adding a splash of milk/almond milk to mix it in properly.

      YUM! I might add some choc PB2 in and see how that works out.

      Does it get chunky because of the cottage cheese? I see myself having texture issues (yeah, whatever, I'm weird). I might blitz it in the food processor and then run it through my ice cream machine to smooth it out.

      I do frozen bananas and blend protein powder into that then grease a container with coconut oil. 2 ingredients is the lazy ice cream maker inside of me.

      Just stuck mine in the freezer. I don't have a food processor, so we will see how it turns out. Before the fridge, it was pretty chunky. I kinda grossed myself out. We will see how it comes out when it's done though. The actual flavor is pretty good!

      Hm, because it's only 2tbsp of cottage cheese I only noticed the occasional white spot in the chocolate ness, but it all freezes to the same texture ("frozen texture" hah) so I didn't notice. I mostly noticed the yummy peanut butter I put on top haha.

      I think processing it in the food processor would deal with any texture issues you may have though!

      BTW I kept mine in the freezer for longer today, like 3 hours, and I wasn't as huge of a fan because it got really cold and frost bit because I didn't put a lid on it haha. So if you're making in advance I suggest a lid and also to let it sit out before eating it. I think 1 hour is the perfect amount of freezer time.
