This no-churn, low-carb recipe is the tastiest way to make cottage cheese ice cream. And the sweet strawberry flavors take it to the next level.
What Is Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
Cottage cheese ice cream is probably the easiest recipe for no-churn, keto-friendly ice cream you’ll ever make! As the name implies, this dessert has a base of cottage cheese, while most ice cream recipes use heavy whipping cream.
But cottage cheese has a deeper flavor. If you’re worried about the curds giving the ice cream an odd texture, the food processor or blender is for you.
Either gadget will work, pureeing the cottage cheese so it’s smooth and creamy.
Shopping List
Before you make this keto strawberry cottage cheese ice cream, this is what you’ll need from the store. All of the exact ingredient amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

- Vanilla
- Sugar-Free Honey
Best Sweetener For Ice Cream
I used sugar-free honey to sweeten this all-natural, no churn ice cream recipe. I love how it clings to all the ingredients, sweetening every bite.
It also enhances the natural sweetness in the strawberries, too. What can you use instead of sugar-free honey? I suggest a liquid sweetener.
If you try to use a powdered or granulated sugar substitute, it will alter the texture. And the texture is so important in this ice cream recipe.
Keto Strawberry Ice Cream
There are 8 grams net carbs in each serving of this strawberry ice cream, so it’s more of a low-carb recipe than a keto-friendly one. But if you work out your macros, you can fit this into your diet plan.
The flavors and divinely creamy texture make every single bite worth all of those carbs. It’s an indulgent dessert that transports you to a beach vacation!
What To Eat With Ice Cream
This is the perfect thing to indulge in when you’re craving something sweet and fruity. In fact, the strawberry flavors taste perfect with a slice of keto berry cobbler skillet.
Of course, it’s also the perfect dessert to share at a party. The sweet strawberries accentuate the flavors in keto no-bake carrot cake cheesecake too.
Add a keto whipping cream cake and some keto birthday party cupcakes to the dessert table too.
How To Store Homemade Ice Cream
I suggest making the ice cream in a loaf pan that has a lid. This way, you can store it in the freezer easily. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
The most important thing to remember with homemade ice cream is to keep the air off of it. If you don’t have a container with a lid, wrap the container with plastic wrap and then put it in a freezer bag.
