Step 1: Prepare the Base Mixture

In a food processor or blender, combine 1 container (16 oz) of full-fat cottage cheese, ¼ cup of honey, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add and Blend the Dates

Add 6 dates to the blender.

If the dates are firm, soak them in water for about 5 minutes before adding them to the mixture.

Blend again until the dates are broken into small chunks, but not fully pureed, to retain texture.

Step 3: Transfer and Freeze

Transfer the mixture to a bowl or loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for 3-4 hours, or until the ice cream is set.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop out servings as desired.

Enjoy your creamy and refreshing homemade cottage cheese ice cream!
