Our Easy Strawberry Ice Cream requires no special equipment (no ice cream machine needed) and only takes about 5-minute to prep.

• Daisy Strawberry Cottage Cheese Singles (4 packages): The secret ingredient in this delicious ice cream. The cottage cheese portion creates the smooth, silky, creamy texture that you love. The strawberry compote adds the decadent strawberry swirl deliciousness.
• Frozen Bananas (2): Adds sweetness and helps with the custard-like consistency of ice cream.

• The best bananas for ice cream are ones that are just on the point of turning brown. They are naturally sweeter when they are just over-ripe.
• To get the perfect texture, bananas need to be frozen hard. It’s ideal to freeze them overnight to make sure they are entirely frozen. Don’t take them out of the freezer until you’re ready to use them. The 2 best methods for freezing bananas for ice cream:
  1. Throw whole unpeeled bananas into the freezer (the peels will turn black as they freeze). Bananas will last about 3 months in the freezer. When ready to use, peel with a knife and chop the banana into pieces.
  2. Peel ripe bananas, slice or half, and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for one hour. Transfer pieces to a zip-top bag, remove air, and store frozen bananas up to 3 months.
• Any fruit flavor of Daisy Cottage Cheese singles will work well. Try them all for other delicious flavors such as peach, pineapple, and blueberry.
• Don’t over-blend the ice cream. You want to blend until just thick and creamy. Over-blending will make the ice cream runny.
• 2 hours in the freezer will yield the ideal texture for the ice cream. Freezing it longer will make the ice cream too hard to scoop.
• Ice cream makers may also be used following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Try topping with chopped pistachios, mini marshmallows, or your other favorite ice cream toppings.
• You can also enjoy for breakfast!
