Dessert meets health with my 4-ingredient Strawberry Ricotta Cheese Ice Cream!

This recipe is a match to the viral cottage cheese ice cream – it offers a smoother texture with less blending required as well as a lower sodium content! You can use any fruit you like, fresh or frozen, and you can make it dairy-free by using coconut yoghurt!
