Equipment

  • springform pan or jars
  • blender or food processor
  • mixing bowl
  • rubber spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin (or 1/2 cup soaked cashews)
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or nuts and dates for crust)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well, then press into the bottom of a springform pan or jars. Chill to set.
  • In a blender, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla. Add bloomed gelatin or soaked cashews. Blend until smooth and lump-free.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and tap gently to remove air bubbles. Refrigerate for 4–6 hours or overnight.
  • Once firm, release from pan or serve from jars. Slice and top with berries, chocolate, or compote as desired.

Notes

Use gelatin for structure or soaked cashews for a vegan option. Top with berries, compote, or dark chocolate. Keeps in the fridge for 5 days or freezer for longer. Make in a springform pan or jars.
