You’ll only need 5 ingredients to make this protein-rich ice cream that is reminiscent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but a healthier version. Cottage cheese and heavy cream provide a rich base that perfectly accompanies peanut butter and cocoa powder for a decadent ice cream that will leave you wanting more.
With no refined sugar and only nutritious ingredients, this ice cream is packed full of protein that will keep you feeling fuller for longer and keep any cravings at bay. Cottage cheese is a popular ingredient used by those on a keto lifestyle, as it is naturally low in calories but rich in vitamins B and selenium—that can also support those on a weight loss plan or muscle growth.
All you’ll need for this recipe is a food processor that can help incorporate the cocoa powder and peanut butter without unnecessary chunks. If you want to up the decadence and sweetness factor, why not sprinkle on some keto-friendly chocolate chips before you scoop the ice cream into the loaf pan? It’ll add extra crunch and texture to an otherwise smooth base.
If you want to customize your ice cream even further, why not sprinkle in some nuts? Nuts like walnuts or pecans are high in protein and good fat and pair perfectly with the richness of peanut butter and chocolate. Don’t say we didn’t warn you; this ice cream is extremely addictive!
