Description

This healthy pistachio ice cream is packed with protein, made without heavy cream, and has a smooth, creamy texture. Perfect for a guilt-free treat that still tastes indulgent!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a tangier taste)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 scoops vanilla or pistachio protein powder
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, enhances pistachio flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3–4 drops green food coloring (optional, for a classic pistachio look)

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

  1. Add cottage cheese, almond milk, pistachios, protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add a splash of milk to adjust consistency.

Step 2: Freeze the Mixture

  1. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream container.
  2. Stir in extra chopped pistachios for texture.
  3. Cover and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals.

Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
  2. Garnish with crushed pistachios and enjoy your protein-rich frozen treat!

Notes

  • Extra Creamy Option: Use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a richer texture.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Swap cottage cheese for coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
  • Sweetener Swap: Replace honey with stevia or monk fruit for a lower-carb version.
  • No Ice Cream Maker Needed! Just blend, freeze, and stir occasionally for a smooth texture.
