Cottage cheese and banana ice cream is not only delicious but also healthy. Cottage cheese provides protein and calcium; bananas are rich in potassium and fibre. It's the perfect dessert for children and adults who want to enjoy the taste of ice cream without artificial ingredients and excess sugar. There are only two essential ingredients, but you can use a complete list.

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of cottage cheese (part-skim),
• 2 ripe large bananas,
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional),
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional),
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Preparation:

1. Ingredient preparation: peel the bananas and cut them into smaller pieces. Place the bananas in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours until completely frozen.
2. Combining ingredients: Place the frozen banana pieces, cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and vanilla in a blender. Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

The key to this dessert is consistency: if the ice cream is too stiff after taking it out of the freezer, just leave it for a few minutes at room temperature to soften slightly. Vary the additions: you can enhance the flavour of the ice cream by adding your favourite extras, such as chopped nuts, chocolate pieces, or fruit. This also applies to sweeteners - honey can be replaced with other natural sweeteners like agave syrup, xylitol, or stevia, depending on your taste preferences. And most importantly, storage: the ice cream can be stored in the freezer for several days, but it tastes best fresh, so it's worth eating within 1-2 days.
