Banana Cream Pie Cottage Cheese Ice Cream is a creamy, protein-packed dessert that tastes just like the classic pie—but with a healthier twist. Made with ripe banana, rich nut butter, and full-fat cottage cheese, it blends into a smooth and indulgent base. A touch of honey and vanilla adds natural sweetness, while crushed graham crackers give it that nostalgic pie crust crunch. Just blend, freeze, and in a few hours, you’ve got a no-churn treat that’s both wholesome and delicious. Perfect for a light dessert or a fun, feel-good snack anytime.
