Y’all know I’m adding this to the rotation. It’s soooo creamy dreamy but without the overwhelming “I absolutely ate to much” aftertaste. 5 Ingredients, and low mess low fuss, there’s a reason you’ll love it just as much too. (& not to mention low sugar, low calorie, and high protein!) Enjoy 😉! #fyp #fentysuperbrandday #vegetarian #highproteindessert #cottagecheeserecipe #healthydessert

Notes

Use a thick coconut yogurt or blended silken tofu in place of cottage cheese. Sub crushed granola or a gluten-free cookie crumble if needed.

Whipped cottage cheese can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days — assemble fresh when ready to serve.

Add vanilla extract, chia seeds, or a dollop of jam to level it up.
