Cottage Cheese Brown Butter Vanilla (Print Version)
Rich cottage cheese, brown butter, and vanilla turn into a creamy frozen delight with sweet honey notes.
# Ingredients:
→ Dairy
01 -
2 cups full-fat creamy cottage cheese
02 -
2 tablespoons salted butter
→ Sweeteners and Flavorings
03 -
1/3 cup honey
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Melt salted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the butter becomes bubbly and takes on a deep golden brown hue. Watch closely to avoid burning. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 -
Add cottage cheese, honey, cooled brown butter, and vanilla extract into a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
03 -
Transfer the blended mixture into a loaf pan. Place the pan in the freezer and allow to freeze for approximately 5 hours, or until entirely solid.
04 -
Remove from the freezer and let rest in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to scoop. For cleaner scoops, dip the ice cream scoop in hot water before serving. Return any remaining ice cream to the freezer.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the butter is browned but not burnt for a rich, nutty flavor. Allowing the mixture to rest before scooping yields optimal texture.
