A luscious and creamy cottage cheese bowl topped with fresh raspberries and a variety of flavorful toppings, perfect for a quick, healthy, and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts) – optional
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) mini dark chocolate chips – optional
  • A few fresh mint leaves, chopped or torn
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg – optional
  • Milk or almond milk (optional, to loosen cottage cheese if too thick)

Instructions

  1. Gently rinse 1/2 cup (75g) fresh raspberries under cold water. Set aside on a paper towel to drain fully.
  2. Place 1 cup (225g) of full-fat cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a hand blender or food processor, pulse until smooth but still slightly textured. Skip this step if you prefer chunkier texture.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract. Mix gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Spoon the creamy cottage cheese mixture into your serving bowl or glass. Top with the fresh raspberries, scattering them evenly.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (30g) chopped nuts and 1 tablespoon (15g) mini dark chocolate chips over the raspberries. Finish with a few torn fresh mint leaves and a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg if using.
  6. Optionally, drizzle a tiny extra bit of honey over the top for shine and sweetness. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

If cottage cheese is too thick after blending, add a teaspoon of milk or almond milk to loosen. Avoid stirring vigorously after assembly to keep topping layers intact. Use fresh, ripe raspberries for best texture. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor. Can be made dairy-free by substituting cottage cheese with thick coconut or almond yogurt.
