    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.

    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.

    Somewhere, there is a bowl of Ben & Jerry's crying.

    I have to get the Truvia, seems like a lot of recipes for healthy desserts use it. Can't wait to try this ice cream! Doing it this weekend!

    Here's one that I use now & then. It tastes like cheesecake ice cream to me:

    1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use About Time)
    1/2 cp Chobani non-fat plain Greek yogurt
    2 tbsp Friendship low-fat cottage cheese
    1 tbsp Grade B maple syrup
    1 tbsp coconut oil

    I use an immersion blender to smooth it out.

    This one's not really all that different from a serving of Ben & Jerry's as far as nutrition values, although you get about twice as much ice cream in the serving. ;-)

    For about one cup:

    314 calories
    14.2 g fat (12.2 sat)
    3 mg cholesterol
    19 g carbs
    0 g fiber
    18.8 g sugar
    28.5 g protein

    Compared to 1/2 cup of Ben & Jerry's, you get more ice cream, more calories, about the same fat, lower carbs & sugar, and a lot more protein.

    You might be able to swap out the coconut oil for a splash of coconut extract to reduce the fat content... Not sure what it'd do to the texture or flavor though.
