Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Fresh berries work great - just freeze them for an hour first. Frozen berries help chill the mixture faster and give that perfect scoopable texture, but fresh will still taste delicious.

Is low-fat cottage cheese okay to use?

I don't recommend it, friend. The full-fat version makes all the difference in texture. Low-fat tends to get icy rather than creamy. If you must use it, blend extra thoroughly and maybe add a tablespoon of heavy cream.

How long does it keep in the freezer?

About 2 weeks in an airtight container. After that, it might get a bit icy. Pro tip: press parchment paper directly on the surface before freezing to prevent ice crystals!

Can I make this dairy-free?

You bet! Swap the cottage cheese for silken tofu (same amount) and use maple syrup instead of honey. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

Why is my ice cream too hard?

Most freezers run colder than needed - just let it sit out for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Next time, try adding 1 tbsp vodka (it won't make it boozy, just softer!) or 1 tsp vegetable glycerin to prevent over-hardening.
