Notes

πŸ§€ Use full-fat small curd cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
❄️ If ice cream freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before scooping or stir every 30 minutes during freezing.
πŸ₯› Add a splash of milk or cream before freezing to enhance creaminess and ease scooping.
🌈 Customize flavors by adding cacao powder, frozen fruit, nuts, spices, espresso, or vanilla bean paste.
