Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) full-fat small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon (21g) honey
- ½ cup (75g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons (15g) chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Measure and prepare ingredients: scoop 1 cup (225g) of cottage cheese into a mixing bowl. Measure honey, fresh berries, nuts, and vanilla extract.
- Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon (21g) honey over the cottage cheese. Stir gently to combine without making the mixture watery.
- Optional: pulse the mixture in a food processor or blender for 10-15 seconds for a smoother texture, keeping some curd texture.
- Gently fold in ½ cup (75g) fresh berries. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain excess juice first.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (15g) chopped nuts on top. Optionally toast nuts lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or add a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 24 hours; stir before serving if thickened.
Notes
Use full-fat small-curd cottage cheese for best creaminess. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor. Use fresh berries or properly thaw frozen berries to avoid watery texture. Adjust honey to taste to avoid over-sweetening. Serve chilled for best experience. Store leftovers covered in fridge up to 24 hours; stir before eating if thickened.
