Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream
  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
  • ¼ tsp Mint Extract
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach
  • ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Sauce / Swirl
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil melted
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup

Method
 

  1. Add cottage cheese, 1/4 cup maple syrup, mint, and spinach to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Next prepare the chocolate sauce in a separate bowl by mixing together the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and 1 Tbsp maple syrup until an even chocolatey liquid forms.
  4. Drizzle this sauce over the top of the ice cream mixture in the loaf pan. Use a spatula to swirl in the sauce and make a design.
  5. Freeze for about 3 hours. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and let thaw for 20 minutes.
  6. Optional: for a very creamy version, break apart the frozen ice cream into chunks and add to blender. Blend until smooth.
