Preparation Instructions
- Drain the cottage cheese in cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve for 10 minutes, gently squeezing out as much liquid as possible
- Combine the cottage cheese, banana, syrup, vanilla, peanut butter and salt in a food processor or blender and mix on high until smooth
- Pour the mixture into the GreenPan Frost mixing bowl and cover with the mixing bowl cover
- Select the Soft Ice Cream mode, L4. Churn until it turns to Cool and beeps
- Serve immediately or extrude into an airtight container, stir in the chocolate chips and freeze
Tips
- For the best result, make sure all of your ingredients are cold (if making right away) or make the base and refrigerate until ready to churn. Extrude immediately once done churning to avoid getting an icy texture from too much air mixed in.
- Whole milk cottage cheese will give you the best flavor and texture, but you can use low-fat cottage cheese too; either way, make sure to strain out as much liquid as possible.
- You can add more or less maple syrup or honey to taste, depending on the ripeness of the banana you use.
