Equipment

1 blender or food processor
1 loaf pan or other freezer safe container

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk cottage cheese (440g) or low-fat, I use Good Culture brand
1 cup strawberries, chopped about 8 large strawberries
12 Simple Mills Sweet Thin Graham Crackers (30g) or your favorite graham crackers
2 tablespoon honey (30 ml)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract (10 ml)

Instructions

Combine the cottage cheese, half of the strawberries, half of the graham crackers, honey, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until it has a creamy consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Push down the sides as needed.
Add the ice cream mixture to a loaf pan or other freezer-safe container. You can even store it in the cottage cheese container.
Mix in the rest of the chopped strawberries and crushed graham crackers. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
Remove from freezer and let it thaw 10-15 minutes to let it soften before serving.

Notes

Expert Tips

For the most creamy consistency and smooth texture, use whole milk cottage cheese. Low fat cottage cheese or fat-free cottage cheese will result in more ice crystals.
Let it thaw about 10 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to scoop.
Chop the strawberries into relatively small pieces so they get distributed evenly.

Storage

Freezer: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Cover with plastic wrap if your container doesn't have a lid.
For serving: Take it out of the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to let it soften.
