Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of sweetener, 1 cup of pistachio nuts, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Blend on high for about 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or pistachio flavor by adding more sweetener or nuts. Blend again for another 30 seconds to incorporate any adjustments.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 3-4 hours until firm.
  4. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Use a warm scoop for smooth servings.
  5. Serve in bowls or cones, garnished with extra chopped pistachios, chocolate chips, or a mint leaf.
