    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!

    @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.

    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.
