Scoop into bowls or cones, drizzle with extra honey if desired, and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese: This ensures a rich, creamy texture and avoids icy results.
- Scoop Easily: Let the ice cream sit out for 5 minutes before scooping for a smooth, creamy finish.
- Customize Flavors: Try blueberries, mango, or cherries instead of strawberries. Add granola, nuts, or cookies for extra crunch.
