1: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, maple syrup, shredded carrots, and spices until smooth and creamy.
2: Stir in walnuts and additional shredded carrots (for texture).
3: Transfer to an airtight container.
4: Put the container in the freezer (with the lid on) and remove every 45 minutes to an hour to stir (otherwise the edges will freeze and the center will still be too soft).
5: Depending on how thick you like your ice cream, it should be ready in 3-4 hours.
