Ingredients

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: Pinch of sea salt
• Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, pecans, extra cinnamon, or fresh banana slices

Instructions

1. Add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend on high speed for about one minute until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
3. Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl and gently fold in the raisins with a spatula. This keeps the raisins evenly distributed throughout the frozen yogurt.
4. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
5. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours. During the first 3 hours, stir the mixture every hour to break up ice crystals and create a creamier, scoopable texture.
6. Once frozen, let the container sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This softens the frozen yogurt just enough for easy scooping.
7. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with chopped walnuts, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, or a light drizzle of honey if desired.

Helpful Tips

• Full-fat Greek yogurt creates the richest, creamiest texture.
• Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them if you prefer them extra soft and juicy.
• For even more cinnamon bread flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice.
• Chopped walnuts or pecans provide a delicious crunchy contrast.
• If you own an ice cream maker, churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions for an even smoother consistency.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks. If it becomes too firm, simply let it rest on the counter for several minutes before scooping.
