Often very sweet and fatty, ice cream should be eaten in moderation, even in summer. We reveal the “magical” recipe (and without an ice cream maker) from a nutritionist to treat you without counting the calories. Preparation time: 5 minutes.
Ice creams, sorbets, frozen chocolate bars rich in sugar… Impossible to spend the summer without eating ice cream! It must be said that this refreshing delicacy is ideal when the temperatures rise. But by dint of not resisting high-calorie supermarket ice creams and those, very greedy, from artisanal ice cream parlors, you can quickly gain weight. Especially when you eat at least 3 scoops each time.
Good news, it is quite possible to combine frozen pleasure and a balanced diet if you abandon the worst ice creams from a nutritional point of view and favor ice creams with fewer calories. But the best is still to do it yourself according to Ysaline, a dietitian nutritionist very connected who shares many nutrition tips on social networks. She also revealed the ice cream recipe ideal house to avoid gaining weight on your Instagram account: an ice cream made from cream cheese rather than fresh cream. Made with only 2 ingredients. Enough to save precious calories during the aperitif season.

Ice cream: the low-calorie recipe to make in 5 minutes
To reproduce it at home, you will not need an ice cream maker or even have time in front of you. All you have to do is put about 300g of frozen fruit of your choice in a blender, and add the equivalent of 2 small pots of fresh cheese before mixing everything together.
Then, all you have to do is pour the preparation into a box intended for freezing and place it for 4 to 6 hours in the freezer so that it takes on the right consistency. The nutritionist invites you to take the tub of homemade ice cream out of the freezer just 5 to 10 minutes before serving it.
If you like very sweet ice cream, it is also possible to add 1 teaspoon of honey to the preparation before mixing.
Why replace fresh cream with cottage cheese?
By swapping fresh cream – which represents an average of 200 calories per 100 g – with cottage cheese – 80 calories per 100 g – you drastically lighten your ice cream without losing any indulgence. Far from being limited to reducing a number of calories, the recipe also makes it possible to create a really healthier ice cream, because it is rich in calcium and protein rather than in lipids with the cream. This way, you can easily eat an extra scoop without having to think twice, or save a few extra calories if you’re losing weight.
