If you put you whole frozen berries in your processor first and chop with out the cottage cheese until they are broken up, then add the cheese you won’t have big berries to deal with.
I just read in the July 3rd issue of First for women magazine that erythritol is linked to higher risk of strokes and heart attacks but allulose actually boosts weight loss, is not absorbed by the body and sheds significant fat especially around the midsection. (Pg.36 with reference to 3 different doctors 😊
That's an old low carb dessert recipe -it's amazing mixed or blended with lemon zest! -ooh I'mma try that again with a little no sugar hazelnut syrup -a modified Italiano treat!
I used to professionally bake. I will share a secret with you on how to maximize berry flavor without having to reduce it for hours on the stove or without using fake extracts: Get some freeze dried berries and pulverize them into powder in the blender. Just make sure the blender is super dry and clean. It’ll punch up the berry flavor like you wouldn’t believe, for less volume and no added moisture ☝️😬
I've been making a smoothie with cottage cheese for about 10 years. 1 banana, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 5 or 6 strawberries(can add vanilla)...makes a great summertime breakfast or throw in the freezer...Yummy! No sugar needed.
@labab1048 I'm guessing it's because you're stressing about the sugar in the banana. To the best of my understanding, when the sugar appears naturally in a whole fruit, it's counter-acted (or something) by the fiber. Maybe if you're diabetic the sugar would matter but I'm not (just like most people) so IDC. I found it funny that you care.
Use a cup cake baking tray - line it with Paper cup cakes, or use reusable cupcakes moulds usually silicone based, they make great portion sizes. It will freeze quicker and in turn defrost much quicker as well.
Pro tip! Only use salted cottage cheese for flavors like cheesecake and pb flavors, otherwise I think you’ll find your ice cream too salty. I only use salted cottage cheese for those flavors. Otherwise, I buy salt free or no added salt. So the end product really taste more like ice cream. Regardless of what flavor you choose it is gonna have a cheesy flavor. Freeze cottage cheese in small scoops on a tray for an hour so they’re about the size of an ice cube, that way you can take a handful throw it in your blender with and a little liquid, i usually you’d heavy cream but I’ve used water too , add sweeteners and stir ins and change the flavor to your liking every day! There was a lot of trial and error with these recipes and I found these tips really helped.
Oh that sounds awesome because I love heavy whipping cream. I use it with my frozen bananas and making my avocado chocolate pudding I love heavy cream.
i kept buying the cottage cheese and eating it before i could make it into icream lol. So the ice cream is amazing and you can put a small spoonful of the cottage cheese on parchment paper or silicone on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven or microwave, can sprinke with seasonings, it makes really good chips, u can also do them in a frying pan as well ❤
Ive done chips with shredded cheese and/or shredded parmesan, but I didn't think cottage cheese would work. do you have to blend it first? When my mom had cancer, we put her on the Budwig protocol and I would blend organic cottage cheese with cold pressed flax seed oil and add seasoning to make a veggie dip or hollandaise sauce. I wish I'd known about this ice dream (or the Keto diet back then in '06)
@@debbiecurtis992 no u don’t blend, just take a small teaspoon and drop onto your parchment. To see how you do microwave type check out the keto twins, stove top lowcarb love does the frying pan method, enjoy 😉
Everyday in my hubbies lunch I mix half a cup of cottage cheese with half a cup of yogurt. Stir it well, then I add a cup of frozen blueberries. It freezes immediately as you are stirring it. I store it in the freezer until I am ready to pack his lunch. You can also eat it right away. He loves it and says it is soooo refreshing.
Honestly, I must have been living under a rock because I hadn't even heard about ice cream being made with cottage cheese!? LOL 😂 And I love cottage cheese! So where have I been?!? Haha! 😆 Great job, Wes! I am DEFINITELY giving this recipe a try! 👍🏻😉
We're evidently soulmates! 😂 I was going to write the same thing! I always have cottage cheese in my fridge (Daisy is my go-to - not crazy about that brand, even to save a couple of carbs) so I'm going to give it a whirl tomorrow! Pun definitely intended! 😉
Lol me too, never heard of it. I went to a girls lake house trip in early June and my sister had brought some for a treat. It was raspberry, looked delicious but I didn't care for it. It tasted too much like cottage cheese with a slight cottage cheese feel to it. Maybe it was the recipe she tried, it was her first time making it. I will just stick to Haagen Dazs or Blue Bell 🤣 since I don't follow Keto. If cottage chz ice cream tasted good and it being low cal, then I'd try others but I don't want to waste ingredients.
Wes, I don’t know if you will see this, since I am so far behind the times, and maybe someone has already discovered and reported this, but, I made the chocolate version and put it in a popsicle mold. What resulted was the closest thing to a commercial fudgsicle that I have found. Usually when you freeze keto ice cream or juice it freezes rock hard, and you never get that texture that you get when you bite into a fudgesicle or a popsicle, for that matter-that icy, grainy, texture, whatever it is, that is so magical. This does that. A dream come true. LOL
My mom took a how to get the most out of your food processor class in the 80s. She learned how to make ice cream with frozen fruit and heavy cream with the sweetener of choice. It’s so delicious, and my diabetic grandfather loved it. The heavy cream whipped in the food processor and made the mixture fluffy and more like ice cream. A mix of cottage cheese and heavy cream might be really good.
Also works with ricotta cheese. Home made ricotta is especially thick and creamy. And Good Good brand low carb jams are a good replacement for fruit, and already sweetened. For strawberry add about 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice.
Salted Caramel Latte - added 2 tsp. Powdered espresso, 1/3 cup brown allulose/monk fruit sweetener, 1 T. Vodka, 3/4 t. vanilla, 1/2 t caramel extract. Salt provided by the cheese. Holy cow! Made it tonight and it is delicious!
I tried this when the keto twins made it. I make an individual serving with: 1/2 c. cottage cheese 1/2 c. Frozen berries 1tsp sweetener of choice Splash of cream or half and half. Tastes like cheesecake ice cream!! Yummy " Frosty" consistency!😊😊😊💖💖💖 I see a coffee flavor in my future!!
I make a version of this but with a chunk of cream cheese (haven't found any cottage cheese without a bunch of crap ingredients). I just eat it as soon as I'm done mixing it, no need to freeze. Quite yummy. Also adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder is tasty and a good way to get some extra protein
@@nanchesca3950 Most brands of cream cheese that I've checked have gums/thickeners etc. added, so if you're avoiding unwanted additives make sure to check the ingredients on those too. That said, do you use just cream cheese or do you combine that with the cottage cheese?
Just a sweetener hint. I make keto ice cream regularly, and I have found that allulose helps the ice cream to not freeze as hard. I normally use half erythritol and half allulose mostly to save cost ;)
One tip to get rid of the savory flavor (at least when you go for something fruity), add a splash of OJ or a squeeze of lemon juice. Sourness neutralizes salt
Gotta love that rogue strawberry of yours, Wes. He wasn't going down without a fight! 🍓 Here's tip: I often forgo Vanilla Extract whenever I make anything that has Blueberries because I find that Lemon Extract really compliments that particular berry more-so. Try it! I also find that Blueberries, Strawberries, Cherries and Peaches are an excellent match if they're paired with Almond Extract. Thanks for the recipes, another awesome video! Toodles for now from Canada 🍁
When I use cottage cheese for desserts, I use the chunky sort, and I discart the brine, as that's where most of the salt and some of the tartness is. How, you may ask; I pour the cheese into a sieve and let tapwater run through, turn the cheese a couple of times, carefully, of course. I just flip it, or use a rubber spatula. Best regards from Denmark :-)
I sweeten my keto ice cream with allulose powder sweetener but at the end before putting it in the freezer just add two tablespoons of liquid allulose and it will keep your ice cream creamy for days. I love your humor! Every video feels like someone that I would be friends with ❤
thanks for mentioning liquid allulose. I bought some to make mason jar ice cream but didnt like the finished product. The powdered is SO expensive at $ 12.00 for 16 oz.
Another way to keep it from freezing hard is to wrap the cottage cheese in cheesecloth and squeeze the liquid out of it before mixing in the other ingredients. It makes it creamier too.
You can also cook cottage cheese in a sauce pan until it melts to a sauce. Add cheddar cheese powder (not the chemical stuff). Ladle over broccoli or use in a keto casserole base.
You're a hoot Mr. Wes. That moment you had with the berry ice cream cracked me up. 😁 I love cooking and collecting vintage cookbooks especially Southern ones so I'll keep tuning in to see what you're cooking next. I've been a subscriber awhile and as a keto lifer a little over a year I'm down 90 lbs and counting. Keeping up with you and others in the community keeps me legit and feeling good in all aspects of the word. Thanks for sharing all you do sir and keep on keeping on. LOVE IT! FYI I am 65 yr old and finally aging well. It is never too late to get healthy y'all. 🙂
@@thebumblingcrafter. I am another. 🙄. Lost seven pounds right away, then started gaining lots, felt like I was going to have a heart attack going up the stairs. I think true keto needs to be monitored.
Fun fact: Allulose will keep any keto ice cream from freezing into concrete. So will BochaSweet, but you should only use half the amount necessary, and use a different sweetener for the other half because it may not freeze enough, either. For example, recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, use 1/2 cup allulose, 1/2 cup erythritol.
That's good to know! Thank you. I only use bocha sweet but I usually temper an egg yolk it seems to help keep my ice cream firm and creamy and if I don't use eggs I'll add agar agar because I can't tolerate most of the other sugars. But your explanation explains why I was having difficulties with my keto ice cream before adding in the egg yolk /agar agar. Thank you again.
Interesting! Splenda makes a blend of stevia, allulose, and erythritol called Magic Baker. It tastes just like sugar to me, and it doesn't have anything else added to it.
Photons, I JUST ordered a pack of the Splenda Magic Baking to test out. I was impressed with the ingredients, and honestly assumed from the brand name that it contained sucralose artificial sweetener, but it doesn’t! :-) Thanks for sharing that with us, too.
Just a tip. I've heard a lot of people say it wasn't sweet enough or tasted salty or it tasted fine when they mixed it up, but they didn't like it when it was frozen. This probably means you need to add more sweetener. Because of the way our tastebuds work, things that are frozen taste less sweet. If you've ever had a spoonful of melted commercially prepared ice cream, you might have noticed that it tastes almost loathsomely sweet. That's because they sweeten it knowing that once the product is frozen, people will be able to taste less of the sugar. So when you mix it up you should add enough sweetener that the mixture tastes slightly too sweet. When it's frozen it'll be perfect.
Just made 2 tubs in less than 30 mins, using stevia powder, one with cocoa powder, the other with pistachio and vanilla. The vanilla extract with 40% alcohol will help lower the freezing temp. Thanks very much!
I’ve finally been enjoying ice cream. I prefer a blend of Cottage cheese, almond coconut milk, protein powder, vanilla, allulose, Tara gum and sometimes cocoa powder then freeze and next day in my Ninja Creami! Even my husband has given up Blue Bell ice cream for this delicious and healthy summer treat. I’m going to have to try berries! Thank you Wes!
I make it all the time. LOVE IT! Especially when I changed to Good Culture. I found that the easiest way to freeze and eat is to make popsicles. That way you don't have to churn, or thaw before eating. I have these plastic molds, and I run it under hot water for a little bit to release it from the mold. Epic!!!
Unlike normal people I don't do social media (except YT ofc 😆) so this had completely passed me by. Thanks for the test - I've got my own in the freezer as I type and can't wait to try it out (The licking the spoon test was promising 😋)
Just wanted to say “thank you”, Wes! I enjoy seeing you test different recipes and making comments about personal preferences. But mostly I want to let you know how grateful I am that you have introduced me to some new channels and websites for others that are creating these recipes. I have been checking many of them out for the first time and have found a lot of inspiration. I just wanna hug your neck!
I have tried using vodka when I used to make regular ice cream - it didn't do anything to keep it from freezing rock hard. I've heard that allulose keeps it softer, but with this recipe, I just freeze it in individual portions so I can just take one out about 15 minutes ahead, and it's ready.
Just joined your monthly as I owe way more than I could ever repay for all your videos that I have been watching and enjoying since about 2018 since starting Low Carb/Keto. You make cooking so much fun and ENTERTAINING. Thank you for all you do for these online communities. We are all blessed because of it. I can't wait to try this ice cream.
I have been making this in different flavors for a while now. My freezer is full so I just leave it in the refrigerator and eat it like a mousse. First-lemon flavored with True Lemon and lemon extract. Made an edible cookie dough from a recipe by Keto Twins. I used 2 cups of the cottage cheese and 1 cup Fage yogurt (I use that for my gut) , 1/2 cup Allulose, 1 cup of lupine flour. and one scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. (I used Keto Chow) Then mixed Lily's choc chips in it.
Thank you for stating how big your carton of cottage cheese is. I have seen a couple recipes for cottage cheese ice cream, but they just say "use a carton of cottage cheese". The difficulty is that my store sells cartons of cottage cheese in 4oz, 8oz, 16oz, and 32 oz sizes. Update: I got a 16oz pkg of cottage cheese; blended it with the cocoa powder, monk fruit, and vanilla similar to what quantities you used. I then blended in a heaping tablespoon of ChocZero Raspberry jam. I divided the mixture into four smaller containers and stirred them after 1 hour. The jam seems to keep the "ice cream" from turning into an icy brick and I love the taste of chocolate and raspberry. I think next time I'll try some keto orange marmalade. Thanks for the video.
Something I have done with cottage cheese- is purée and season and use to replace mayo in some recipes or as a sandwich spread. I tried this after making a baked chicken recipe with avocado mayo and ended up with a greasy mess. The cottage cheese “mayo” was fantastic the second time around.
excellent idea. I mix mayo with 1 Tbs. shredded parmesan, onion powder to taste and diced green onions and spread it on fish after it has cooked through. after spreading the mix on the fish place back in oven for just a few minutes to get the topping golden. I will try the cottage cheese mayo soon and maybe even as a topping on cooked chicken.
Try stirring in a half-teaspoon per pint of vegetable glycerin to keep the ice cream soft. It works much better than vodka. Just don't use too much or it has a strange texture. Also, vegetable glycerin is a carb, but a half teaspoon isn't going to hurt anything.
When I have made cottage cheese, chocolate mousse, I find the creamiest texture comes from the food processor like you used. The stick blender didn’t create that nice smooth texture for me. Thank you for the new recipe, I’m definitely going to try this.
You had the best reaction to the flavour test I've seen in a while😂. I just heard of this cottage cheese ice cream yesterday on the radio, and here you are making it😃 I thought it was made with dry curd, so I learned something there. Thanks again for sharing.❤
Been reluctant to try this ice cream, but your response has convinced me! I just put cottage cheese on the grocery list. Thanks for testing when I was not willing to!
I loved your reaction to the taste test! I think the flavor of blueberries intensifies if they are cooked. I have been seeing this recipe but was afraid to try it but now i will.
holy moley I have got to try this! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've followed your content for a long time and will continue to even though I don't practice low carb anymore. But I still watch every video you put out and love your energy! Please keep it up and I hope your channel gets bigger and bigger!
I thought a little salt taste won't bother me...well it did big time. I also hated the zanthum i added for consistency. SO I melted some added an egg, coconut oil, baking powder, lupini flour, swerve, coconut flour, put in a tarte pan and it makes the most delicious strawberry and blueberry cake ever! Absolutely love it.
Thank you! When I made the chocolate version I also used Allulose but needed to add a bit more sweetness so I did use a touch of the Torani sugar free syrup. It’s was excellent! Mine had some tang to it. Some say it taste like cheesecake but mine tastes like frozen yogurt. Which is just fine by me. All good! 😊
I did chocolate and added some espresso powder and used monk fruit. I swirled in some organic peanut butter. I don’t follow a keto diet but was looking for a healthier “ice cream”. It tasted good after I mixed it in the bleeder so can’t wait to have some after dinner tonight. Thanks!😊
I made mine with sugar free Dutch process dark cocoa powder from Ghirardelli, with some no sugar added crunchy peanut butter and lots of cooked bacon bits ... OMG, spoon goood!
I bought a 24oz bag of organic Cacao powder at Costco for 6.99 yesterday. Sometimes they also have Ghirardelli cocoa powder. They are virtually identical. Both are sugarfree.
Thank you for creating this video. You thought you were late to the cottage cheese ice cream party? Well this is the first I’ve heard of it! You are one of my trusted sources and if you say it’s good, I believe you! I’ve been looking for a simple, no fuss, keto friendly ice cream. Again thank you! 😊
We tried this, made two flavors, a cinnamon and strawberry... I think once I'm done with BBBE and I get a Creami, I'll play around with this and incorporate KetoChow... I know there is something amazing waiting to be discovered!
Oh, man! I LOVE cinnamon ice cream! Thing is, I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker with the built in compressor, so I would rather make real ice cream, but I could probably blend the cottage cheese stuff in the blender, then mix it in the ice cream maker to start freezing it.
@@carolynjorgensen1644 I imagine you could use one single serving of keto chow, say the core chocolate, with some melted beef tallow and then mix that in with the full container of cottage cheese, probably make a nice size batch, I'd add half the water or maybe less...
@@KetoSimple I was thinking of just adding the dry keto chow, like I stir some into vanilla keto ratio yogurt just a tablespoon or so..to give a particular flavor to the cottage cheese ice cream
I just love watching you and I can tell when you don't like a recipe, you pause and try to come up with right words to explain it. I like that you are honest. No one wants to buy all those ingredients and spend so much time making the recipe to not like it in the end.
The toroni type sugar free syrups totally work in the heavy cream keto ice cream. I have a few different flavors (snickerdoodle, churro, salted caramel) all are great!
I tried this cottage cheese ice cream a few weeks ago... before I watched this video. The texture was perfect but I didn't like the salty flavor of the cottage cheese. I'm gonna give it one more try and add the vanilla like you suggested. Hopefully it will help the flavor. Thanks so much for trying this recipe.
Awesome, can't wait to try this in my new Ninja Creami ice cream maker (which is actually an ice cream blender). BTW Wes, thanks for recently turning me on to Indigo Nili's channel... been trying some of her egg white bread recipe variations and it's really helping me with those bread cravings
Me too! I have not used my Ninja Creami since last year. I also add 1/2 tsp (or three grams) of Tara Gum to my recipes to stop ice from forming and to make it extra cream. You could also use guar or xantham gum if preferred.
I’ve been off of social media for awhile so I haven’t watched one of your videos for about 6-8 months. I wanted to say you look great! Way to go sticking to your healthy life style 😃 I enjoy all of your videos
I've only tried the protein shake ice cream in my Ninja Creami and they're good, but they definitely need a little sweetener added to them. I'm going to give the cottage cheese ice cream a try. So glad I came across this video as your reaction to the flavors is so real. Thank you.
You've made my day, or rather evening!!!! My husband and I are on a keto diet, and it's done well by us, very well! My husband will be thriller with the chocolate ice cream and so will our brother-in-law! Wow!
Back in the 70s my mom would make Cheesecake with Cottage Cheese. It was the go to diet option back then as well. I didn't taste too bad either. I'm gonna try this ice cream lol
I made cherry ice Dessert. The brand was too salty. I used 12oz. Frozen cherries and1/3 c. Splenda and vanilla. Sorry Wes, it's not great. I have a couple suggestions. Perhaps make something like Carmel pecan, where you want that extra salt. Salt free cottage cheese is sold in larger stores especially at Passover. Keep on cookin!
Adding a tablespoon of grass fed beef gelatin might solve the solid freezing problem. It helps popsicles have a better texture. Just a thought. But idk.
I did not like it frozen. I was actually going to throw it out and had it sitting on the counter. I gave it a taste before I was headed to the trash, but just chilled, it was delicious! I added a cookie crust in ramekins, my cottage cheese mouse, and topped with whipped cream. It turned into a really nice dessert!
Sounds perfect! I'm not a big ice cream person. I used to have it about twice a year, but I just realized I've only had ice cream once since summer of 2019 and that was sometime in summer of 2020!
I did the same thing. It was headed for the trash when I decided to leave it on the countertop to see how it was. Not delicious, but certainly edible. I left it out for about 40 minutes to be able to spoon it out.
The reason for this was probably not enough sweetener. When things are frozen, they taste less sweet. That's why if you've ever eaten melted commercial ice cream it probably tasted too sweet. They add more sugar, knowing that most people won't be able to taste it when frozen. If you tried this again, add sweetener until the mixture tastes a little too sweet at room temp. Then freeze.
July 11, 23 non keto eater but love cottage cheese. Looking forward to trying this. Dont be afraid to be a day late and a dollar short because im just seeing this today.
I'd use chocolate stevia drops in addition to the allulose for the chocolate. For the berry one, you CAN thaw the berries so you can chop them up so you don't get the single giant whole strawberry. Thank you, Wes. I'm definitely going to try these. I might even try the one you suggested with the PB2 powder.
OMG Wes!! I found you again FINALLY! I was subscribed to your channel and somehow got unsubscribed by RUclips 🤬. I couldn't remember the name of the channel after having a mini stroke and have been looking for your channel forever! It's been a couple of years and you look fantastic! So glad you're still making videos and that this video just happened to show up! 💕
That looks really tasty. I want to point out that a 16-oz container of cottage cheese is 4 or 5 carbs PER SERVING. And one container is 4 servings. So consider that in your serving sizes.
gosh I have not been on your channel in 2-3 years as I had left keto, back to it, let me tell you look great! like younger! very healthy looking thanks for the motivation!
I don’t like cottage cheese so I didn’t think this was legit, but now that you’ve given it your stamp of approval, I’ll definitely try it. Thanks, Wes!
@@jerritanner275 you still might like to try it but just a smaller amount. I’m using the left over cottage cheese in my waffles for protein. Less than 1/4 cup because it turns to soup! 🤣😂🤣😂- There’s a reason we don’t like it!🤣😂🤣😂
@@martgrigsby3404 I do like the keto chips made with it. However, it’s a pain to make in the microwave & looks like a bigger pain to make in a frying pan. One video said that a viewer made them in the oven, but I don’t remember what settings they used & I haven’t been able to perfect them.
@@jerritanner275 I haven’t tried the chips yet but if I do it will be in the air fryer. Probably like 375 and watch closely! 😂🤣😂😂. That’s me guessing! I do that a lot. I’m going to look around to see if any videos for this. I need to use that cottage cheese. I just saw a great rustic bread recipe that uses ricotta cheese. I ask if cottage cheese could work and she said probably since similar. Im trying it. It’s on Low Carb Abode.
I’m definitely going to have to try this. I just started making strawberry cheesecake parfait’s, which are absolutely delicious. I use the food processor for the cottage cheese, but I use the emulsifier tool rather than the blade. It whips it up beautifully, making it really light and fluffy, and it seems to double in volume.
Ok…I’m going to try this recipe again now that I’ve seen your video. I made one with fresh blueberries and swerve with vanilla and touch of lemon juice cooked down in skillet. I thought it tasted okay-but even tho curds were undetectable, it still had that cottage cheese texture to me. Maybe I needed to process it longer as you did.
NOW brand liquid stevia has some wonderful flavors, like lemon twist, dark chocolate, cinnamon vanilla, which I have used to make ice creams in the Ninja Creami. But I surely will try the cottage cheese like you have done here. It looks like a lot of fun for experimenting. Thanks for testing it all!
I just made some! Yumm. I was on keto for a year and a few months. lost weight and sickness, felt the best in my life. Went on a cruise and totally fell off! Weight gain and sickness back. Sigh 😔 So here we go again. It’s gotta be a way of life. I’m still hopeful. ☀️ I made mine with cottage cheese, pineapple, strawberries, a lil frozen banana, vanilla extract and a lil allulose.. Wow! I didn’t even wait. I ate as a milkshake lol. Awesomeness! I got used to the twang of the cottage cheese taste. My new go to! Thank you.
This is the first time I've seen this! Definitely doing to try it. Some keto maple syrup and walnuts would be good. Or stir in some peppermint extract and chopped up sugar-free chocolate chips. Yum!

Do you have your cottage cheese ice cream recipes written down anywhere?
Wes, if you don't want to use alcohol *you can use Inulin to prevent the icecream from getting hard as a rock*!!
Sunny greetings from Germany,
Ela 🤗
NINJA CREAMI: Have you tried this using the Ninja CreamI?? I just heard of the NC and I"d love to see how this works in that!!
If you put you whole frozen berries in your processor first and chop with out the cottage cheese until they are broken up, then add the cheese you won’t have big berries to deal with.
didn't we learn to make this on the Atkins diet?😮
I just read in the July 3rd issue of First for women magazine that erythritol is linked to higher risk of strokes and heart attacks but allulose actually boosts weight loss, is not absorbed by the body and sheds significant fat especially around the midsection. (Pg.36 with reference to 3 different doctors 😊
Allulose. Where can I find it? Brand name?
@mamakathy49 Easy to find on Amazon under several brand names. Not cheap, but is such a good sugar substitute.
Thanks for the info ❤
I just want to thank you so much for this information. I used to read Women's World all the time. I'm going to remember this when I go shopping.
I mean First, in this case. I did often read First, also. But I quit buying magazines, can't afford them anymore.
Ok, I had ricotta and it has 2 grams of carbs per serving. It was so thick and creamy. Likely less tangy than cottage cheese. Thanks for the idea!
That’s a great idea! I’ll try that next. :-)
We used to make chocolate ricotta when I was a kid. Yummy!
I might try this instead, because I thought the cottage cheese was too salty.
Oh wow thanks for the idea. I’ve never made cottage cheese ice cream ricotta sounds great.
That's an old low carb dessert recipe -it's amazing mixed or blended with lemon zest! -ooh I'mma try that again with a little no sugar hazelnut syrup -a modified Italiano treat!
I used to professionally bake. I will share a secret with you on how to maximize berry flavor without having to reduce it for hours on the stove or without using fake extracts:
Get some freeze dried berries and pulverize them into powder in the blender. Just make sure the blender is super dry and clean. It’ll punch up the berry flavor like you wouldn’t believe, for less volume and no added moisture ☝️😬
I have freeze dried from Aldi's, will use now. THX
WOW! THANK YOU!
Thank you!!
Thank you. I use same powder to flavor cream candies at Christmas. Never thought of using in ice cream.
Great tip❤
I've been making a smoothie with cottage cheese for about 10 years. 1 banana, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 5 or 6 strawberries(can add vanilla)...makes a great summertime breakfast or throw in the freezer...Yummy! No sugar needed.
Too much sugar in banana…especially a whole one
@@labab1048😂😂😂
@@philthyphil3324 Why’s that funny
@labab1048 I'm guessing it's because you're stressing about the sugar in the banana.
To the best of my understanding, when the sugar appears naturally in a whole fruit, it's counter-acted (or something) by the fiber.
Maybe if you're diabetic the sugar would matter but I'm not (just like most people) so IDC. I found it funny that you care.
Americans love to use sugar substitutes. I don’t know why they don’t try them without stevia etc . Tried your recipe love it . Thank you x
Irish coffee cottage cheese ice-cream... Freeze-dry coffee granules, whisky, a touch of vanilla and sweetener. Amazing!
😮 I’m down for it!
Yes! Adding a small amount of cocoa powder, instead of whisky, would make a mocha flavour, yum!
Be still my heart💓
O.M.G. Will be trying that combination soon!
OMG
Use a cup cake baking tray - line it with Paper cup cakes, or use reusable cupcakes moulds usually silicone based, they make great portion sizes. It will freeze quicker and in turn defrost much quicker as well.
Brilliant!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Great idea!
Silicone, yes. But I would avoid paper. If you need to stir because of ice crystals, the paper could fray into the dessert.
Awesome!❤
Pro tip!
Only use salted cottage cheese for flavors like cheesecake and pb flavors, otherwise I think you’ll find your ice cream too salty. I only use salted cottage cheese for those flavors. Otherwise, I buy salt free or no added salt. So the end product really taste more like ice cream. Regardless of what flavor you choose it is gonna have a cheesy flavor.
Freeze cottage cheese in small scoops on a tray for an hour so they’re about the size of an ice cube, that way you can take a handful throw it in your blender with and a little liquid, i usually you’d heavy cream but I’ve used water too , add sweeteners and stir ins and change the flavor to your liking every day!
There was a lot of trial and error with these recipes and I found these tips really helped.
Add heavy whipping Cream 2 both recipes to make it Ice Creamier 🍧
Oh that sounds awesome because I love heavy whipping cream. I use it with my frozen bananas and making my avocado chocolate pudding I love heavy cream.
Sounds good ❤
How much per 16 ounces of cottage cheese? Thanks!
I did, it's in the freezer now 👍
i kept buying the cottage cheese and eating it before i could make it into icream lol. So the ice cream is amazing and you can put a small spoonful of the cottage cheese on parchment paper or silicone on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven or microwave, can sprinke with seasonings, it makes really good chips, u can also do them in a frying pan as well ❤
Yes the CHIPS are AMAZINGLY DELISH!!!
Ive done chips with shredded cheese and/or shredded parmesan, but I didn't think cottage cheese would work. do you have to blend it first? When my mom had cancer, we put her on the Budwig protocol and I would blend organic cottage cheese with cold pressed flax seed oil and add seasoning to make a veggie dip or hollandaise sauce. I wish I'd known about this ice dream (or the Keto diet back then in '06)
@@debbiecurtis992 no u don’t blend, just take a small teaspoon and drop onto your parchment. To see how you do microwave type check out the keto twins, stove top lowcarb love does the frying pan method, enjoy 😉
@@debbiecurtis992 oh me as well 👍
Same 😂
Everyday in my hubbies lunch I mix half a cup of cottage cheese with half a cup of yogurt. Stir it well, then I add a cup of frozen blueberries. It freezes immediately as you are stirring it. I store it in the freezer until I am ready to pack his lunch. You can also eat it right away. He loves it and says it is soooo refreshing.
This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
is that sugar free yogurt
I love this idea!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for this recipe.
Seriously brilliant!!! 🍦
Honestly, I must have been living under a rock because I hadn't even heard about ice cream being made with cottage cheese!? LOL 😂
And I love cottage cheese! So where have I been?!? Haha! 😆
Great job, Wes!
I am DEFINITELY giving this recipe a try! 👍🏻😉
We're evidently soulmates! 😂 I was going to write the same thing! I always have cottage cheese in my fridge (Daisy is my go-to - not crazy about that brand, even to save a couple of carbs) so I'm going to give it a whirl tomorrow! Pun definitely intended! 😉
Same new to me too
I'm with you there. And I have been following Keto life style for about 1.5 years now.
To cut down dairy a bit I use a small avocado or 1/2 large, still very creamy
Lol me too, never heard of it. I went to a girls lake house trip in early June and my sister had brought some for a treat. It was raspberry, looked delicious but I didn't care for it. It tasted too much like cottage cheese with a slight cottage cheese feel to it. Maybe it was the recipe she tried, it was her first time making it. I will just stick to Haagen Dazs or Blue Bell 🤣 since I don't follow Keto. If cottage chz ice cream tasted good and it being low cal, then I'd try others but I don't want to waste ingredients.
Wes, I don’t know if you will see this, since I am so far behind the times, and maybe someone has already discovered and reported this, but, I made the chocolate version and put it in a popsicle mold. What resulted was the closest thing to a commercial fudgsicle that I have found. Usually when you freeze keto ice cream or juice it freezes rock hard, and you never get that texture that you get when you bite into a fudgesicle or a popsicle, for that matter-that icy, grainy, texture, whatever it is, that is so magical. This does that. A dream come true. LOL
I used to make tofudgsicles (with soft silken tofu) and they were pdg
Love it ❤
My mom took a how to get the most out of your food processor class in the 80s. She learned how to make ice cream with frozen fruit and heavy cream with the sweetener of choice. It’s so delicious, and my diabetic grandfather loved it. The heavy cream whipped in the food processor and made the mixture fluffy and more like ice cream. A mix of cottage cheese and heavy cream might be really good.
The eyes when you tasted the berry… the laughter when tasting both recipes… that just brings me joy! Making these asap!
Your reaction to the blueberry strawberry ice cream was unbearably delightful. I got a try this.!!!
You are very watchable, even for non-Keto people.
Thank you. And welcome aboard! 🧡
Easy on the eyes 😍
@Sandi-zh2wx he is GORGEOUS and funny!
Also works with ricotta cheese. Home made ricotta is especially thick and creamy. And Good Good brand low carb jams are a good replacement for fruit, and already sweetened. For strawberry add about 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice.
Thank you! I happen to have ricotta, so I'm going to try it.
Love your suggestion to add lemon! Lemon brightens so many dishes, sweet and savory, too, from soups to proteins.
Salted Caramel Latte - added 2 tsp. Powdered espresso, 1/3 cup brown allulose/monk fruit sweetener, 1 T. Vodka, 3/4 t. vanilla, 1/2 t caramel extract. Salt provided by the cheese. Holy cow! Made it tonight and it is delicious!
Great recipe ❤
I tried this when the keto twins made it. I make an individual serving with:
1/2 c. cottage cheese
1/2 c. Frozen berries
1tsp sweetener of choice
Splash of cream or half and half. Tastes like cheesecake ice cream!! Yummy " Frosty" consistency!😊😊😊💖💖💖 I see a coffee flavor in my future!!
Thank you for that Linda!!
I make a version of this but with a chunk of cream cheese (haven't found any cottage cheese without a bunch of crap ingredients). I just eat it as soon as I'm done mixing it, no need to freeze. Quite yummy.
Also adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder is tasty and a good way to get some extra protein
@@nanchesca3950 Try Daisy Cottage Cheese, no junk, just good stuff!
@@nanchesca3950 Most brands of cream cheese that I've checked have gums/thickeners etc. added, so if you're avoiding unwanted additives make sure to check the ingredients on those too. That said, do you use just cream cheese or do you combine that with the cottage cheese?
@@st9211 just cream cheese
1T of Vegetable glycerin to soften for those not using vodka.
Great idea!!!
Just a sweetener hint. I make keto ice cream regularly, and I have found that allulose helps the ice cream to not freeze as hard. I normally use half erythritol and half allulose mostly to save cost ;)
Same here, I use powdered Allulose works terrifically and you can add more if not sweet enough..
One tip to get rid of the savory flavor (at least when you go for something fruity), add a splash of OJ or a squeeze of lemon juice. Sourness neutralizes salt
❤ I never heard of that, I'll definitely be using your tip in future. Thanks for sharing!!
excellent idea, thanks!
👍lemon would be good with blueberries mixed in.
For that matter orange goes with chocolate...hmmmm...
Gotta love that rogue strawberry of yours, Wes. He wasn't going down without a fight! 🍓
Here's tip:
I often forgo Vanilla Extract whenever I make anything that has Blueberries because I find that Lemon Extract really compliments that particular berry more-so. Try it!
I also find that Blueberries, Strawberries, Cherries and Peaches are an excellent match if they're paired with Almond Extract.
Thanks for the recipes, another awesome video!
Toodles for now from Canada 🍁
Agreed. Lemon and blueberry flavors are a perfect pair.
Thanks for that tip.🎉❤
Almond extract is genius!!! Tastes like amaretto!
When I use cottage cheese for desserts, I use the chunky sort, and I discart the brine, as that's where most of the salt and some of the tartness is. How, you may ask; I pour the cheese into a sieve and let tapwater run through, turn the cheese a couple of times, carefully, of course. I just flip it, or use a rubber spatula. Best regards from Denmark :-)
Thank you!❤
With a recipe like ice cream - where the cream is necessary for the consistency, would you add heavy whipping cream?
I sweeten my keto ice cream with allulose powder sweetener but at the end before putting it in the freezer just add two tablespoons of liquid allulose and it will keep your ice cream creamy for days. I love your humor! Every video feels like someone that I would be friends with ❤
What brand of liquid allulose do you use?
Vodka works too!
@@TheVinegarden I tried volka, but it was still hard.
thanks for mentioning liquid allulose. I bought some to make mason jar ice cream but didnt like the finished product. The powdered is SO expensive at $ 12.00 for 16 oz.
Another way to keep it from freezing hard is to wrap the cottage cheese in cheesecloth and squeeze the liquid out of it before mixing in the other ingredients. It makes it creamier too.
You can also cook cottage cheese in a sauce pan until it melts to a sauce. Add cheddar cheese powder (not the chemical stuff). Ladle over broccoli or use in a keto casserole base.
Wow! Great idea!!
You're a hoot Mr. Wes. That moment you had with the berry ice cream cracked me up. 😁 I love cooking and collecting vintage cookbooks especially Southern ones so I'll keep tuning in to see what you're cooking next. I've been a subscriber awhile and as a keto lifer a little over a year I'm down 90 lbs and counting. Keeping up with you and others in the community keeps me legit and feeling good in all aspects of the word. Thanks for sharing all you do sir and keep on keeping on. LOVE IT! FYI I am 65 yr old and finally aging well. It is never too late to get healthy y'all. 🙂
Love your post!!! congrats on your life choice of more healthy and the keto way! I do strongly recommend the 'aging well' feeling to everyone!!!!!
WOW Congtats on That. I must be the only person who couldn't figure out how to lose on Keto. ~Patti
@@thebumblingcrafter. I am another. 🙄. Lost seven pounds right away, then started gaining lots, felt like I was going to have a heart attack going up the stairs. I think true keto needs to be monitored.
I'm going to use chocolate protein powder that's already sweetened and blend that with the cottage cheese and give that a try, can't wait!
Fun fact: Allulose will keep any keto ice cream from freezing into concrete. So will BochaSweet, but you should only use half the amount necessary, and use a different sweetener for the other half because it may not freeze enough, either. For example, recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, use 1/2 cup allulose, 1/2 cup erythritol.
That's good to know! Thank you. I only use bocha sweet but I usually temper an egg yolk it seems to help keep my ice cream firm and creamy and if I don't use eggs I'll add agar agar because I can't tolerate most of the other sugars. But your explanation explains why I was having difficulties with my keto ice cream before adding in the egg yolk /agar agar. Thank you again.
I followed low carb loves video and mine froze into concrete. It was still good but annoying they didn’t address this issue
Interesting! Splenda makes a blend of stevia, allulose, and erythritol called Magic Baker. It tastes just like sugar to me, and it doesn't have anything else added to it.
Photons, I JUST ordered a pack of the Splenda Magic Baking to test out. I was impressed with the ingredients, and honestly assumed from the brand name that it contained sucralose artificial sweetener, but it doesn’t! :-) Thanks for sharing that with us, too.
@@HighfalutinLowCarb Wonderful! I can't wait to hear your review of it.
Just a tip. I've heard a lot of people say it wasn't sweet enough or tasted salty or it tasted fine when they mixed it up, but they didn't like it when it was frozen. This probably means you need to add more sweetener. Because of the way our tastebuds work, things that are frozen taste less sweet. If you've ever had a spoonful of melted commercially prepared ice cream, you might have noticed that it tastes almost loathsomely sweet. That's because they sweeten it knowing that once the product is frozen, people will be able to taste less of the sugar. So when you mix it up you should add enough sweetener that the mixture tastes slightly too sweet. When it's frozen it'll be perfect.
Thank you!
I believe you but if you're talking about things like pecan pie... it tastes much sweeter cold than hot.
@@Er-sv5tnbut the OP wasn't talking about pie. they were talking about FROZEN sweetness. One has nothing to do with the other.
@@oaktjenmaybe they were talking about pecan pie flavored ice cream
Frozen diabetes.
You can also use liquid allulose instead of alcohol.
Just made 2 tubs in less than 30 mins, using stevia powder, one with cocoa powder, the other with pistachio and vanilla. The vanilla extract with 40% alcohol will help lower the freezing temp. Thanks very much!
Looking for a pistachio extract. Please, any suggestions? Thanks
I’ve finally been enjoying ice cream. I prefer a blend of Cottage cheese, almond coconut milk, protein powder, vanilla, allulose, Tara gum and sometimes cocoa powder then freeze and next day in my Ninja Creami! Even my husband has given up Blue Bell ice cream for this delicious and healthy summer treat. I’m going to have to try berries! Thank you Wes!
I make it all the time. LOVE IT! Especially when I changed to Good Culture. I found that the easiest way to freeze and eat is to make popsicles. That way you don't have to churn, or thaw before eating. I have these plastic molds, and I run it under hot water for a little bit to release it from the mold. Epic!!!
Great idea!!
Unlike normal people I don't do social media (except YT ofc 😆) so this had completely passed me by. Thanks for the test - I've got my own in the freezer as I type and can't wait to try it out (The licking the spoon test was promising 😋)
Just wanted to say “thank you”, Wes! I enjoy seeing you test different recipes and making comments about personal preferences. But mostly I want to let you know how grateful I am that you have introduced me to some new channels and websites for others that are creating these recipes. I have been checking many of them out for the first time and have found a lot of inspiration. I just wanna hug your neck!
I have tried using vodka when I used to make regular ice cream - it didn't do anything to keep it from freezing rock hard. I've heard that allulose keeps it softer, but with this recipe, I just freeze it in individual portions so I can just take one out about 15 minutes ahead, and it's ready.
I know vodka has never helped any of my ice creams. Wish there was something that would work
Another channel uses liquid allulose to keep ice cream soft.
@@MandySchex Hmm. wonder if we can make liquid allulose out of the powder.
Xantham gum helps keep soft. Ck Google for proper amount since a little goes far
Use vegetable glycerine to keep it scoopable. 1t per pint. For the poster above, xanthan gum is a stabilizer but will not keep ice cream scoopable.
Just joined your monthly as I owe way more than I could ever repay for all your videos that I have been watching and enjoying since about 2018 since starting Low Carb/Keto. You make cooking so much fun and ENTERTAINING. Thank you for all you do for these online communities. We are all blessed because of it. I can't wait to try this ice cream.
I've been thinking about trying this & you just convinced me. I'd love to try a coconut version & a pistachio version!
I have been making this in different flavors for a while now. My freezer is full so I just leave it in the refrigerator and eat it like a mousse. First-lemon flavored with True Lemon and lemon extract. Made an edible cookie dough from a recipe by Keto Twins. I used 2 cups of the cottage cheese and 1 cup Fage yogurt (I use that for my gut) , 1/2 cup Allulose, 1 cup of lupine flour. and one scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. (I used Keto Chow) Then mixed Lily's choc chips in it.
I made cottage cheese ice cream with natural peanut butter swirl, sugar-free cheesecake dessert mix, and sugar-free chocolate chips. It was delicious.
Thank you, I’m screenshotting this.😂
Where do you find “sugar free cheese cake mix”?
@@lindaburris4138I’m wondering whether OP added the cheesecake flavor sugar free pudding mix?
Yummy ❤
I've made the change to intermittent carnivore. But you have slimmed down a lot since the last time I saw you. Congratulations
Thank you for stating how big your carton of cottage cheese is. I have seen a couple recipes for cottage cheese ice cream, but they just say "use a carton of cottage cheese". The difficulty is that my store sells cartons of cottage cheese in 4oz, 8oz, 16oz, and 32 oz sizes. Update: I got a 16oz pkg of cottage cheese; blended it with the cocoa powder, monk fruit, and vanilla similar to what quantities you used. I then blended in a heaping tablespoon of ChocZero Raspberry jam. I divided the mixture into four smaller containers and stirred them after 1 hour. The jam seems to keep the "ice cream" from turning into an icy brick and I love the taste of chocolate and raspberry. I think next time I'll try some keto orange marmalade. Thanks for the video.
Where do you buy the jam
The alcohol worked a treat. No more rock hard ice cream. The consistency is just how it should be! Thanks a lot
I also added a little strawberry extract.
At 75, am on anti-inflammatory diet so my ice cream 🍨 sweetener is a frozen over ripened small banana 🍌 (in 3 pieces). Also add body.
Something I have done with cottage cheese- is purée and season and use to replace mayo in some recipes or as a sandwich spread. I tried this after making a baked chicken recipe with avocado mayo and ended up with a greasy mess. The cottage cheese “mayo” was fantastic the second time around.
Great idea, thanks.
Do you add anything other than seasoning to your cc mayo?
We use butter for baked chicken.
@@bethmiller6827 did you see the recipe? I am not referring to just any baked chicken. 👍🏼
excellent idea. I mix mayo with 1 Tbs. shredded parmesan, onion powder to taste and diced green onions and spread it on fish after it has cooked through. after spreading the mix on the fish place back in oven for just a few minutes to get the topping golden. I will try the cottage cheese mayo soon and maybe even as a topping on cooked chicken.
Try stirring in a half-teaspoon per pint of vegetable glycerin to keep the ice cream soft. It works much better than vodka. Just don't use too much or it has a strange texture. Also, vegetable glycerin is a carb, but a half teaspoon isn't going to hurt anything.
When I have made cottage cheese, chocolate mousse, I find the creamiest texture comes from the food processor like you used. The stick blender didn’t create that nice smooth texture for me. Thank you for the new recipe, I’m definitely going to try this.
Yeah that's the video I followed she used a stick blender it came out awful . But now seeing it made this way has convinced me to give it another try.
Google Vegetable Glycerin…. It helps keep ice cream soft. I use it all the time. Found out about it from Trim Healthy Mama.
I have been so skeptical of this recipe, but now I have to try it.
What about monkfruit? & how much?
You had the best reaction to the flavour test I've seen in a while😂. I just heard of this cottage cheese ice cream yesterday on the radio, and here you are making it😃 I thought it was made with dry curd, so I learned something there. Thanks again for sharing.❤
Been reluctant to try this ice cream, but your response has convinced me! I just put cottage cheese on the grocery list. Thanks for testing when I was not willing to!
I loved your reaction to the taste test! I think the flavor of blueberries intensifies if they are cooked. I have been seeing this recipe but was afraid to try it but now i will.
Oh my gosh! This is my new best ice-cream! This will be guilt free for me. No more Ben & Jerry's. Thank you so much.
holy moley I have got to try this! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've followed your content for a long time and will continue to even though I don't practice low carb anymore. But I still watch every video you put out and love your energy! Please keep it up and I hope your channel gets bigger and bigger!
I thought a little salt taste won't bother me...well it did big time. I also hated the zanthum i added for consistency. SO I melted some added an egg, coconut oil, baking powder, lupini flour, swerve, coconut flour, put in a tarte pan and it makes the most delicious strawberry and blueberry cake ever! Absolutely love it.
Thank you! When I made the chocolate version I also used Allulose but needed to add a bit more sweetness so I did use a touch of the Torani sugar free syrup. It’s was excellent! Mine had some tang to it. Some say it taste like cheesecake but mine tastes like frozen yogurt. Which is just fine by me. All good! 😊
For some reason my taste buds perceive sugar free flavorings as bitter.
I couldn’t take the tang of cottage cheese and I used Good Culture.
I did chocolate and added some espresso powder and used monk fruit. I swirled in some organic peanut butter. I don’t follow a keto diet but was looking for a healthier “ice cream”. It tasted good after I mixed it in the bleeder so can’t wait to have some after dinner tonight. Thanks!😊
I made mine with sugar free Dutch process dark cocoa powder from Ghirardelli, with some no sugar added crunchy peanut butter and lots of cooked bacon bits ... OMG, spoon goood!
Where do you buy the cocoa powder
I bought a 24oz bag of organic Cacao powder at Costco for 6.99 yesterday. Sometimes they also have Ghirardelli cocoa powder. They are virtually identical. Both are sugarfree.
Thank you for creating this video. You thought you were late to the cottage cheese ice cream party? Well this is the first I’ve heard of it! You are one of my trusted sources and if you say it’s good, I believe you! I’ve been looking for a simple, no fuss, keto friendly ice cream. Again thank you! 😊

Chocolate, hazelnut or vanilla Stevia liquid which I already have in the house. Gotta try!
We tried this, made two flavors, a cinnamon and strawberry... I think once I'm done with BBBE and I get a Creami, I'll play around with this and incorporate KetoChow... I know there is something amazing waiting to be discovered!
Oh, man! I LOVE cinnamon ice cream! Thing is, I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker with the built in compressor, so I would rather make real ice cream, but I could probably blend the cottage cheese stuff in the blender, then mix it in the ice cream maker to start freezing it.
@@maidenminnesota1 let us know how that turns out! Sounds pretty cool!
I was wondering if some ketochow could be added to this and wonder how much?
@@carolynjorgensen1644 I imagine you could use one single serving of keto chow, say the core chocolate, with some melted beef tallow and then mix that in with the full container of cottage cheese, probably make a nice size batch, I'd add half the water or maybe less...
@@KetoSimple I was thinking of just adding the dry keto chow, like I stir some into vanilla keto ratio yogurt just a tablespoon or so..to give a particular flavor to the cottage cheese ice cream
I just love watching you and I can tell when you don't like a recipe, you pause and try to come up with right words to explain it. I like that you are honest. No one wants to buy all those ingredients and spend so much time making the recipe to not like it in the end.
😊 thank you. I appreciate the kind words. 🧡
The toroni type sugar free syrups totally work in the heavy cream keto ice cream. I have a few different flavors (snickerdoodle, churro, salted caramel) all are great!
How much do you add?
I tried this cottage cheese ice cream a few weeks ago... before I watched this video. The texture was perfect but I didn't like the salty flavor of the cottage cheese. I'm gonna give it one more try and add the vanilla like you suggested. Hopefully it will help the flavor. Thanks so much for trying this recipe.
You're looking good, Wes! Thanks for the recipe!
I love your laugh after tasting! Makes me want to get out of bed ,run to the store and pick up the cottage cheese to make right now!
Awesome, can't wait to try this in my new Ninja Creami ice cream maker (which is actually an ice cream blender). BTW Wes, thanks for recently turning me on to Indigo Nili's channel... been trying some of her egg white bread recipe variations and it's really helping me with those bread cravings
Me too! I have not used my Ninja Creami since last year. I also add 1/2 tsp (or three grams) of Tara Gum to my recipes to stop ice from forming and to make it extra cream. You could also use guar or xantham gum if preferred.
I’ve been off of social media for awhile so I haven’t watched one of your videos for about 6-8 months. I wanted to say you look great! Way to go sticking to your healthy life style 😃 I enjoy all of your videos
I've only tried the protein shake ice cream in my Ninja Creami and they're good, but they definitely need a little sweetener added to them. I'm going to give the cottage cheese ice cream a try. So glad I came across this video as your reaction to the flavors is so real. Thank you.
You've made my day, or rather evening!!!! My husband and I are on a keto diet, and it's done well by us, very well! My husband will be thriller with the chocolate ice cream and so will our brother-in-law! Wow!
You look fantastic Wesley!!..ty for sharing!!
Thanks, Stormy! :-)
@@HighfalutinLowCarb I love love love your videos..my kids do too!!
🧡💛🙂
Never heard of this. Thank you for sharing!
I made the chocolate version using the Stevia and it's fantastic. Looking forward to trying the berry version next week. Thank you!
Wow !!! The Irish Coffee ice cream sounds incredible. You my lady need to make a video with your ingredients mentioned!!!
Back in the 70s my mom would make Cheesecake with Cottage Cheese. It was the go to diet option back then as well. I didn't taste too bad either. I'm gonna try this ice cream lol
I made cherry ice
Dessert. The brand was too salty. I used 12oz. Frozen cherries and1/3 c. Splenda and vanilla. Sorry Wes, it's not great. I have a couple suggestions. Perhaps make something like Carmel pecan, where you want that extra salt. Salt free cottage cheese is sold in larger stores especially at Passover.
Keep on cookin!
Love your honesty! Thanks so much for testing these recipes!
Adding a tablespoon of grass fed beef gelatin might solve the solid freezing problem. It helps popsicles have a better texture. Just a thought. But idk.
I imagine it would also be great with many of the Keto Chow flavors!! So many to choose from! Thanks Wes, for another great video 👍‼️😂
Just found this video, can’t wait to try this recipe😄
I did not like it frozen. I was actually going to throw it out and had it sitting on the counter. I gave it a taste before I was headed to the trash, but just chilled, it was delicious! I added a cookie crust in ramekins, my cottage cheese mouse, and topped with whipped cream. It turned into a really nice dessert!
Sounds perfect! I'm not a big ice cream person. I used to have it about twice a year, but I just realized I've only had ice cream once since summer of 2019 and that was sometime in summer of 2020!
I did the same thing. It was headed for the trash when I decided to leave it on the countertop to see how it was. Not delicious, but certainly edible. I left it out for about 40 minutes to be able to spoon it out.
The reason for this was probably not enough sweetener. When things are frozen, they taste less sweet. That's why if you've ever eaten melted commercial ice cream it probably tasted too sweet. They add more sugar, knowing that most people won't be able to taste it when frozen. If you tried this again, add sweetener until the mixture tastes a little too sweet at room temp. Then freeze.
I wished I would have waited before I threw mines out. I didn't like it frozen and tossed it.
I love it none frozen. Like a mousse!
July 11, 23 non keto eater but love cottage cheese. Looking forward to trying this. Dont be afraid to be a day late and a dollar short because im just seeing this today.
Thanks for watching and commenting! :-)
I'd use chocolate stevia drops in addition to the allulose for the chocolate.
For the berry one, you CAN thaw the berries so you can chop them up so you don't get the single giant whole strawberry.
Thank you, Wes. I'm definitely going to try these. I might even try the one you suggested with the PB2 powder.
OMG Wes!! I found you again FINALLY! I was subscribed to your channel and somehow got unsubscribed by RUclips 🤬. I couldn't remember the name of the channel after having a mini stroke and have been looking for your channel forever! It's been a couple of years and you look fantastic! So glad you're still making videos and that this video just happened to show up! 💕
That looks really tasty.
I want to point out that a 16-oz container of cottage cheese is 4 or 5 carbs PER SERVING. And one container is 4 servings. So consider that in your serving sizes.
gosh I have not been on your channel in 2-3 years as I had left keto, back to it, let me tell you look great! like younger! very healthy looking thanks for the motivation!
I don’t like cottage cheese so I didn’t think this was legit, but now that you’ve given it your stamp of approval, I’ll definitely try it. Thanks, Wes!
Jerri Tanner I don’t like cottage cheese either. But I jumped right in trying this because I really miss ice cream. It was beyond awful!
@@martgrigsby3404 thank you!
@@jerritanner275 you still might like to try it but just a smaller amount. I’m using the left over cottage cheese in my waffles for protein. Less than 1/4 cup because it turns to soup! 🤣😂🤣😂- There’s a reason we don’t like it!🤣😂🤣😂
@@martgrigsby3404 I do like the keto chips made with it. However, it’s a pain to make in the microwave & looks like a bigger pain to make in a frying pan. One video said that a viewer made them in the oven, but I don’t remember what settings they used & I haven’t been able to perfect them.
@@jerritanner275 I haven’t tried the chips yet but if I do it will be in the air fryer. Probably like 375 and watch closely! 😂🤣😂😂. That’s me guessing! I do that a lot. I’m going to look around to see if any videos for this. I need to use that cottage cheese. I just saw a great rustic bread recipe that uses ricotta cheese. I ask if cottage cheese could work and she said probably since similar. Im trying it. It’s on Low Carb Abode.
I’m definitely going to have to try this. I just started making strawberry cheesecake parfait’s, which are absolutely delicious. I use the food processor for the cottage cheese, but I use the emulsifier tool rather than the blade. It whips it up beautifully, making it really light and fluffy, and it seems to double in volume.
Ok…I’m going to try this recipe again now that I’ve seen your video. I made one with fresh blueberries and swerve with vanilla and touch of lemon juice cooked down in skillet. I thought it tasted okay-but even tho curds were undetectable, it still had that cottage cheese texture to me. Maybe I needed to process it longer as you did.
I used Swerve for the sweetner & also added a banana to the chocolate. Turned out good.
NOW brand liquid stevia has some wonderful flavors, like lemon twist, dark chocolate, cinnamon vanilla, which I have used to make ice creams in the Ninja Creami. But I surely will try the cottage cheese like you have done here. It looks like a lot of fun for experimenting. Thanks for testing it all!
Trader Joe's has the best price liquid stevia regular flavor.
I tried it with the PB2, and YES!! Really good ice cream!! Thanks, WES, for all you do!! I love your work, and have subscribed, followed and etc!😋
I made chocolate peanut butter cottage cheese ice cream and strawberry they were both so good! I felt really good about eating it too!
I just made some! Yumm. I was on keto for a year and a few months. lost weight and sickness, felt the best in my life. Went on a cruise and totally fell off! Weight gain and sickness back. Sigh 😔 So here we go again. It’s gotta be a way of life. I’m still hopeful. ☀️
I made mine with cottage cheese, pineapple, strawberries, a lil frozen banana, vanilla extract and a lil allulose.. Wow! I didn’t even wait. I ate as a milkshake lol. Awesomeness! I got used to the twang of the cottage cheese taste. My new go to! Thank you.
This is the first time I've seen this! Definitely doing to try it. Some keto maple syrup and walnuts would be good. Or stir in some peppermint extract and chopped up sugar-free chocolate chips. Yum!
Oooohhhh mint chock chip I craaaave for 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤❤
maple extract would work too
