Whipped Cottage Cheese Bowls
Description
This recipe combines cottage cheese with vanilla bean paste (or extract) and Monk Fruit Sweetener (or sugar, honey, syrup) blended until smooth. The whipped texture removes curds’ graininess and creates a creamy, mildly sweet base. Fresh strawberries and blueberries provide juicy, tart fruitiness, contrasting with the richness of the creamy cheese. Slivered almonds add a nutty crunch, enriching the mouthfeel.
The preparation is simple and requires only a blender and fresh ingredients, allowing flexibility with fruit and nut choices. The whipped cottage cheese is light enough to serve as a breakfast, dessert, or snack, especially when paired with seasonal fruit.
Substitutions include Greek yogurt for cottage cheese. Using vanilla yogurt can eliminate the need for additional sweetener or vanilla extract. Different fruits like mango, pineapple, or pomegranate seeds and nuts or seeds can be used to vary flavor, texture, and nutritional content.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce container cottage cheese I love Good Culture, low-fat
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste ( or vanilla extract)
- 3 tablespoons Monk Fruit Sweetener ( such as Lakanto, or sugar, honey or maple syrup)
- 1 cup strawberries (sliced and divided)
- 1 cup blueberries (or raspberries, blackberries (or a mix of each))
- 3 tablespoons almonds for topping, slivered
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, vanilla, and sweetener into a blender.
- Blend on medium high until smooth, roughly 30 seconds. You may need to scrape down the sides.
- Pour into 2 bowls and top with fresh berries and slivered almonds.
Notes
- Substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese to skip blending; omit sweetener if using flavored yogurt.
- Use seasonal fruits such as peaches, figs, pineapple, mango, or pomegranate seeds in place of berries.
- Replace almonds with walnuts or pecans for a different nutty taste.
- Add flax, chia, or hemp seeds on top to increase protein and fiber content.
