Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana "Ice Cream"

Notes: Original from https://sweetsavoryand steph.com/viral-cottage-cheese-chocolate-peanut-butter-ice-cream/

While still highly caloric due to the banana and peanut butter, this healthier version satisfies a sweet tooth while providing more protein than is found in typical ice cream. The original recipe considers this quantity to make 2 servings, but by using silicone cupcake liners, I made 6 servings from a single recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup reduced fat cottage cheese

1 medium banana (frozen OK), cut into 1" chunks

2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (or PB powder)

1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender OR in a medium/large bowl and use an immersion blender, blending until smooth.

2. Pour into silicone portion-sized containers.

3. Freeze for at least 2 hours before eating, or freeze overnight and when ready to eat, remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving.
