Strawberry and fresh cheese protein ice cream

Name: Strawberry and fresh cheese protein ice cream
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 1 d 10 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 150 g (5½ oz) low-fat Greek yogurt; 50 g (1¾ oz) low-fat whipped fresh cheese — creaminess; 180 ml (¾ cup) reduced-fat milk; 50 g (1¾ oz) vanilla or strawberry protein powder; 6 g sugar — or 1 tsp honey; no added sugar: 18 g erythritol or granulated stevia; salt — a pinch; 100 g (3½ oz) fresh or frozen strawberries, in pieces — mix-in

Sweet, tart and creamy, like a strawberry tart in ice cream form.

Rico's note: Whipped fresh cheese (queijo fresco) is a great way to give these ice creams body — and a smart way to use up any that's left over.

Ingredients

150 g (5½ oz) low-fat Greek yogurt
50 g (1¾ oz) low-fat whipped fresh cheese — creaminess
180 ml (¾ cup) reduced-fat milk
50 g (1¾ oz) vanilla or strawberry protein powder
6 g sugar — or 1 tsp honey; no added sugar: 18 g erythritol or granulated stevia
salt — a pinch
100 g (3½ oz) fresh or frozen strawberries, in pieces — mix-in

This recipe uses half the sugar because protein powder is usually sweetened: taste the mix and, if it needs it, add more, up to 13 g in total. In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
