Add that peanut butter to make it extra delicious, and give it some added protein.

Blend up everything until the curds of the cottage cheese are smooth. This should aerate the ice cream a little bit, and turn it a lighter color.

Re-blend everything to get rid of any extra chunks.

Separate into 2 servings.

Put it into the freezer for 40 minutes to set.
How This Recipe Supports PCOS Management
PCOS Diet Principles in This Recipe
The PCOS diet focuses on three core principles: reducing inflammation, managing insulin resistance, and supporting hormonal balance. Every recipe in our collection is evaluated against these principles. As part of a balanced PCOS meal plan, we recommend pairing recipes like this with a variety of nutrient-dense foods throughout the week to ensure you are meeting all your micronutrient needs.
Meal Prep Tip: This Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream can be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Meal prepping is one of the most effective strategies for sticking to a PCOS-friendly diet, as it removes the temptation to reach for processed convenience foods when time is short.
Why this Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream works for PCOS
With 60g of protein per serving (about 36% of calories), this Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream sits at the top end of the 25-35g per-meal range that the 2023 International PCOS Guideline recommends for managing insulin resistance and supporting lean mass. Higher-protein meals also blunt the glucose response when carbohydrates are included, which matters for women with PCOS because chronic insulin elevation drives androgen excess and irregular cycles.
At 16g of carbohydrates per serving, this Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes. Pair lower-carb meals like this with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables to keep fibre intake up.
Fat makes up about 48% of calories in this dish. Dietary fat plays a load-bearing role in PCOS because sex hormones are synthesised from cholesterol, and very-low-fat eating can suppress hormone production over time. The 2023 PCOS guideline does not specify a strict fat target, but most clinicians recommend at least 25-35% of calories from a mix of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated sources.
A PCOS-friendly snack like this Keto Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream should include protein or fat, not carbohydrates alone. Carb-only snacks (fruit, crackers, granola bars) spike blood sugar then crash it within 60-90 minutes, leaving you hungrier and more reactive to whatever comes next.
