Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat recommended for creaminess
  • handful fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries work well
  • 2 tablespoons nuts toasted almonds or walnuts preferred
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional for sweetness
  • pinch salt optional, enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Scoop the cottage cheese into a small mixing bowl, then stir it gently with the back of a spoon to loosen it slightly and make it creamy.
  2. Chop a handful of fresh berries into halves or quarters, creating colorful, juicy pieces to add on top.
  3. Toast the nuts lightly in a dry skillet or oven until fragrant and golden, then roughly chop them for added crunch.
  4. Drizzle the honey over the loose cottage cheese, adding a touch of floral sweetness that will seep into the creamy base.
  5. Scatter the chopped berries and toasted nuts over the cottage cheese, distributing them evenly for a vibrant, textured topping.
  6. Finish by adding a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, then give everything a gentle stir if desired, or serve as is to enjoy the contrasting textures.

Notes

Feel free to swap the fruits and nuts based on what you have. For added flavor, sprinkle with herbs or spices like cinnamon or chopped chives. For a dairy-free version, try blending silken tofu with a splash of lemon juice as a substitute for cottage cheese.
