Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey (optional, for more sweetness)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Pinch of sea salt
Tools Needed
- Mixing machine
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon for drizzling caramel
- Tall glass for serving
Instructions

- Add the ice cubes and mix until the mixture is thick and icy.
- Pour the frappe into a glass, drizzle extra caramel on top, and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Frappe
- Blend until ultra-smooth! Cottage cheese takes a few extra seconds to fully blend, so keep going until it’s completely creamy.
- Use good-quality caramel. The better the caramel, the better the frappe! Try homemade or a thick, rich store-bought one.
- Make it sweeter or less sweet to your liking. If your caramel is sweet enough, you may not need extra maple syrup or honey.
- For an extra thick frappe, add frozen banana. It blends up like ice cream and makes it even more delicious!
- Want a caffeine boost? Add a shot of espresso or a little instant coffee for a caramel latte vibe.
Flavor Variations
- Milk: Swap dairy milk for almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- Sweetener: Skip the maple syrup if your caramel is already sweet enough.
- Chocolate: Instead of caramel, use chocolate sauce to make a chocolate cottage cheese frappe!
- Extra Flavor: Add a dash of cinnamon for a cozy twist.
Storage
- Blend everything except the ice and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to drink, blend again with fresh ice for the best texture.
- This frappe is best enjoyed fresh! Put any leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for a few hours. Reblend with new ice before you consume.
