Add Cottage Cheese
Add the 2 cups of cottage cheese to the bowl. Gently whisk just until the cheese is incorporated, leaving a few small curds for texture.
Time: PT3M
Chill the Mixture

Time: PT30M
Temperature: 4°C
Prepare Ice Cream Maker
Ensure the ice‑cream maker’s freezer bowl has been frozen for at least 24 hours. Assemble the machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into the ice‑cream maker and churn for about 20 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft‑serve consistency and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Time: PT20M
Freeze (Optional for Firm Texture)
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container, smooth the top, and place in the freezer for 2 hours if you want a scoopable, firm texture.
Time: PT2H
Serve
