Recipe for protein ice cream with 3 ingredients

Sometimes the craving for something sweet comes suddenly — as if someone had triggered a little holiday memory in your head. Something light, cool, that can be prepared faster than it takes to decide ‘should I go to the shop or stay at home?’. This protein ice cream is made from just such an impulse: from things you have on hand, two turns of the blender and a little imagination. And the result? Innocently simple, surprisingly creamy and pleasantly dessert-like.

Ice cream that tastes like a homemade version of ‘cookies & cream’

Chocolate fruit sauce creates a smooth base with an intense flavour, cottage cheese gives it a creamy texture, and crushed cookies add crunch, which makes a huge difference with every bite. The whole thing tastes a bit like an ice cream dessert from a café, only without all the fuss and waiting. It's the perfect idea for an evening, a hot afternoon or just a sweet break during the day.

Why is it worth making?

Because it's a dessert that works when you need it most — quickly, effortlessly and without feeling like you have to ‘work hard’. Two ingredients form the entire base, and the biscuit turns them into a premium version. You can add fruit, nuts, more fruit jelly or leave it minimalist — each combination will taste different. It's a recipe that likes improvisation.

Ingredients

• 1 light cottage cheese (200 g)
• 3 teaspoons of Choco in Jelly (45 g)
• 1 shortbread biscuit (8 g)

Preparation

Pour the cottage cheese into a blender bowl and blend with two teaspoons of Choco in Jelly until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture to a dish and gently stir in an additional teaspoon of fruit jelly — you can make marbled streaks with it, which look very appetising after freezing. Finally, crumble the biscuit between your fingers and sprinkle it on top to create a crunchy layer after cooling.

Place the dessert in the freezer for 2-3 hours. After this time, the mixture will turn into soft, protein ice cream, which tastes best shortly after removal — that's when the creaminess is perfect.
