Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed to make sure everything is fully mixed.

Step 2: Pour and Freeze
Transfer the mixture into a shallow container. Spread it out evenly so it freezes quickly and evenly. Place the container into the freezer.

Step 3: Stir During Freezing
Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture thoroughly to break up any ice crystals and help it stay creamy. Repeat this for about 1 to 2 hours until the ice cream is firm but still scoopable.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Serve in bowls, cones, or enjoy it right out of the dish for the ultimate peanut butter indulgence.

Storage Instructions
Keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to get that perfect creamy texture. Make it ahead and keep it ready for late-night cravings or sweet midday pick-me-ups.
