I’m on a serious ice cream bender — and this pistachio one is the star. It’s high-protein,
cottage cheese-based (trust me), and straight-up addictive. I know I'm not the only one who’s obsessed with pistachio everything. So, I had to share the recipe here...
This sundae recipe came out of one of those late-night kitchen experiments—when you're craving something cold and creamy, but also trying to hit your protein goal (and not demolish a pint of store-bought ice cream in one sitting).
The cottage cheese makes this high-protein, ultra-creamy, and justifiably healthy enough to eat straight out of the blender. It’s rich, nutty, subtly sweet, and feels way more indulgent than it actually is. See for yourself!
