Cherry and star anise cottage cheese ice cream

This protein-packed “ice cream” has taken the internet by storm with a simple mix of ingredients—cottage cheese, fruit, and honey. In alive’s version, we heat the honey and cherries and infuse them with fragrant star anise before blending with cottage cheese and freezing. Nothing could be simpler.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) dark sweet cherries, pits removed
  • 2 star anise
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) honey
  • 1 cup (250 mL) cottage cheese

Directions

01
In medium saucepan, heat cherries, star anise, and honey over medium. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove star anise and discard.
02
Pour cherry mixture into blender container. Add cottage cheese and blend on high until smooth. Pour into freezer-proof container and freeze for approximately 4 hours. Check every hour and stir.
