I. Frozen Cheese and Strawberry Dessert
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 pint strawberries, crushed and sweetened
Instructions:
- Base preparation: Either force the cottage cheese through a food mill to make it smooth or beat it until smooth.

II. Creamy Frozen Delight: A Dessert to Remember
Step 1: Whip Up the Base
In a bowl, whisk the sour cream gently until it becomes soft and creamy.
The smooth and fluffy base is the star ingredient here, so mix it exactly to perfection.
Step 2: First Freeze and Fluff
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe tray and freeze until the edges are set, but the middle is still somewhat soft.
When frozen enough to hold its shape around the edges, remove and whip in an ice-cold bowl until silky smooth, and airy.
Step 3: Freeze the Magic
Put the whipped mixture back into the tray. Freeze until solid, then slice into desired portions.
Step 4: Bring a lively and refreshing element to your dish.
Cut into elegant squares and serve with a topping of sweetened fresh strawberries or thawed frozen ones for a classic pairing.
Feeling adventurous? Swap strawberries for vibrant raspberries, juicy blueberries, or luscious slices of ripe peaches for a fruity twist that’ll wow every palate.
This cool, creamy dessert is as simple as it is delightful—perfect for any occasion that calls for a sweet, refreshing treat!
