I laughed so hard when I saw this. A year or two before my mom passed away, - I don't remember what she was trying to say - but it came out "cottage cheese makes great ice cream". I laughed and she was confused. And when I repeated it back to her, she started laughing too, and it became a family joke. The flavor you made was even her favorite and the one we joked about being made with cottage cheese the most. As soon as I saw the title, I knew I HAD to watch this video. This one's for you mom. Cottage cheese makes great - or I guess just edible - ice cream!!

I like to make whip cream and freeze it. It's similar to ice cream. There's a lot of keto ice creams out there too. My favorite is Kroger brand followed by Rebel. I'm trying to cut out artificial sweeteners so I haven't had those for a while.

I haven’t tried this yet, but the videos I’ve seen recommended placing the cream in a shallow dish and only freezing for 2 hours. Any longer and ice chips will form. They used chocolate and peanut butter as add ins. Those flavors might mask the tang more. They also were heavy handed with the vanilla.

@oliviaspring9690

Жыл бұрын

Peanut butter as an add in also probably adds fat which prevents helps with texture. I feel like strawberries and gram crackers are better add ins as it would be reminiscent of cheesecake.

Here in Sweden we have cottage cheese with strawberry flavor and another with vanilla flavor, there also used to be one with pear and vanilla that I absolutely loved (sadly it’s been discontinued) and there is a snack sized version with apple and cinnamon which is really good too. I just very rarely get the apple and cinnamon cottage cheese as I prefer to buy the 500g tubs if I buy cottage cheese (the smaller ones are a lot more expensive in relation to the amount you get). But yeah, maybe cottage cheese ice cream would be amazing with some fruit flavors that just compliments the cottage cheese better. I’d probably use a bit of pear and vanilla or apple and cinnamon, or some raspberries if I was to make cottage cheese ice cream myself

Cottage cheese ice-cream is very popular in Hungary. Come to think of it, we put cottage cheese in everything. :D Pasta , pancakes/crepé, sweets, cakes, filled chicken, these are what come to mind off the top of my head. A national dish is a form of pasta with cottage cheese and bacon baked in a furnace. Many times it is paired with sour cream.

Glad to hear you're still keeping bees, I wasn't sure since you haven't put up a bee video in a long time, I'm in my third year, this year they survived the winter, unlike last year whre both my hives made it through winter then died out in spring due to wonky weather and moisture issues. It's utterly fascinating and the honey is just the best, it tastes like home. My brother, my mom and I all guard the homegrown honey jealously!

I think if it more like froyo than ice cream. It's a godsend for bariatric patients who absolutely have to get in their protein in small amounts of easily digested food.

I might buy a bag of frozen strawberries (fresh berries are so expensive!) to add to it.

I sometimes use blended cream cheese for cheesecake. I believe this ingredient swap was in a "diet" cookbook where the cheesecakes were individual sized by baking in muffin cups.

I'd try adding sme sour cream to it to improve both the texture & taste profile. I've made my own green tea I.C. by taking plain vanilla and softening it briefly in the microwave (Careful!) then adding some matcha tea powder to it to taste and then re-freezing it. Yummo!

I just adore you!!! Your videos are my favorite! I have been a fan since 2019. I’d love to see you do a taste test of different cottage cheese brands. Up until recently I hated cottage cheese. I found my favorite brand which is “Good Culture” low fat cottage cheese. I’d also like to see you try the cottage cheese ice cream using “Good Culture” low fat cottage cheese. It’s not near as salty. And the cottage cheese consistency is almost whipped like. And I’d be interested in you trying like a cheesecake style. Much love to you Emmy!

Emmy Im going to try this as a cheesecake ice cream, I love cottage cheese

Thanks! I watched the same videos & almost bought all to make it. Now I won't waste my money. Perhaps this is a good recipe for anyone wanting to stay away from processed sugars. And one thing, I noticed. Your cottage cheese was heaps runnier than what I buy here in Australia. The one I buy is almost as thick as ricotta.

Emmy always keeps it real with viewers ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

How are we nearing 3M subs!? I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos for a decade or so, that’s a third of my life, insane. Thank you for the content, truly.

I’ve made chocolate pudding of sorts with cottage cheese. It was improvised and ended up really tasty! I blended cocoa (a lot hehe), sugar, and vanilla in, then stirred in dark chocolate chips. I think the bitterness of the cocoa paired well with the cheese, I sweetened it very lightly. The texture was very pudding-like since I used a high quality (thicker) cottage cheese. At the end of the day I’d rather just eat regular pudding and ice cream though 😂

I enjoy your videos they are very informative.

I’m inspired! I think cheesecake cottage cheese in the ninja creami could be interesting. Thank you ❤

I’m so happy to see this video. I trust your review!!

I had heard of this recently, nice to see a tryout.

You may want to experiment with adding heated egg yolks (i.e. custard) to the recipe. Egg yolk bind water molecules and will smooth it out without adding more carb. Is your music from "Quigley Down Under"

i might try this. i use low fat small curd cottage cheese in my quiche instead of sour cream. ive also used it in lasagna instead of ricotta. i love it! peaches or your fave fruit pairs great with it too. a nice high protein lunch

You are the only one I've watched making it that had the icy texture. I think you maybe didn't blend long enough, and the immersion blender or regular food processor does it fine. Some say if you stir it several times during the freezing process that helps the texture. Also watched a video that said a little bit of vodka put it will help it from getting icy.

My mom makes cheesecake with part of the cream cheese replaced with a blended mixture of cottage cheese and sour cream. I actually find that the texture and taste is similar especially once you add a small amount of a sweetener of your choice. You can even use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. These are just ways to adjust the macros to your choice. It usually turns out really nice.

Love you Emmy!!!

Yes Emmy, thank you because I really need to know before I try it.😂

Cottage cheese, protein powder of choice, mix in. I just made some strawberry with vanilla protein powder. So good. Next I'll try PBfit or chocolate coconut, or pistachio with sugar free pudding. Also helps to mix a few times while freezing to make it less icy.

Delicious! I sweetened mine with chocolate pudding

I could see this working with a ribbon of fruit preserves stirred in.

I wonder if an ice cream maker would help with the texture? Super interesting!

I feel like the texture would be freezer burntttt

From some other keto content providers, I understand this needs to be eaten the same day or something needs to be added (one recommends vodka!) to keep it from getting rock hard.

I think that lemon flavorings would go well with cottage cheese.

In my opinion, a better use of cottage cheese than the late President Nixon's cottage cheese covered with ketchup.

I loved watching your bee videos

girl I love you. you feel sad. I hope all is well and even more youre going to be better. youre amazing and hope all is well.

I have an ice cream recipe that I came up with that uses seedless black raspberry preserves. It comes out ok but when I saw the cottage cheese thing I thought I'd try using the preserves with it. I used cottage cheese, the preserves, and some monkfruit/allulose sweetener. It tasted ok but ended up with an unappetizingly dense texture. I'm not sure what I could use to "aerate" it so it is lighter and not so dense outside of putting it in an ice cream maker.

Love your review and hard work!^_^

You’re the exact person I needed to talk about this 😭

Thats what i was going to ask you..your bees and chimkens!! I love to see them I also REALLY liked your bee vlogs😊❤😻😊

I don't know about cottage cheese in ice cream, but I have tried cottage cheese with thousand island and/or creamy French dressing stirred into it. That's a good occasional yummy treat. In fact, I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I'll get some cottage cheese (I've already got the dressing). My mom would use cottage cheese instead of ricotta when she made lasagna because it didn't cost as much.

My son made this and he said if you leave it in the freezer overnight it gets rock hard.. therefore he recommends only freezing it a couple of hours and eating all of it right away

I can’t remember which one it was, but a few years ago there was a diet and their suggestion for dessert was cottage cheese and some sweetener and I think some lemon extract. I had it a couple times and it wasn’t the worst thing that I’ve ever eaten. This sounds like that but in a frozen version. Thanks, as always, for keeping it real!

Emmy have you ever had vegan ice cream? I tasted some the other day and it was surprisingly tasty! Doesn't have the creamy taste, more like sorbet-like! Would be cool to see you make it!

I used cottage cheese with raspberry freezer jam and freeze dried raspberry powder with a touch of stevia. It was like fro-yo and I was shocked, none of us even remotely like cottage cheese. Not sure im brave enough to try chocolate or other non fruit variation

Add a tsp of vodka to the mixture, to stop the ice crystals from forming, before freezing.

I think I will try this one. Mosty because I always have cottage cheese in my fridge. It think I'll trying putting it in my ice cream churn to see if that helps with the texture.

I made this, diff recipe but it tasted like sweeter, salty frozen cottage cheese. I wanted to save it so I put back in the blender and added some cream and cocoa powder. Tasted so much better.

I found that strawberries, lots of lemon juice, vanilla and stevia or whatever sweeteners and make it in a Ninja Creamy its pretty good. But i imagine there being requests to cottage cheese companies to make a salt free or lower salt version because the salt is definitely too high for dessert making.
