A quick and easy creamy cottage cheese bowl with fresh raspberries and bittersweet dark chocolate, perfect for a healthy snack or light dessert that feels indulgent without guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese, preferably full-fat
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries, washed and gently patted dry
  • 1 oz (28 g) dark chocolate, chopped into small chunks (70% cacao or higher recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional but highly recommended)
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) toasted almonds or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (240 ml) of small-curd cottage cheese. Stir gently with a spoon or whisk to loosen it up just a bit—don’t overmix to keep the creamy texture intact. (About 1 minute)
  2. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of pure vanilla extract. Fold these in gently until evenly combined. (About 1 minute)
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5 g) of chia seeds if using. (Optional)
  4. Gently fold in half of the fresh raspberries—about ¼ cup (37 g)—to spread flavor throughout while keeping texture intact. Reserve the rest for topping. (30 seconds)
  5. Transfer the creamy mixture into your serving bowl or jar. Top with the remaining ¼ cup (37 g) raspberries, chopped dark chocolate pieces (1 oz / 28 g), and, if desired, 2 tablespoons (15 g) of toasted chopped almonds or walnuts for crunch. (1-2 minutes)
  6. Optionally, drizzle a tiny extra bit of honey on top for a shiny, inviting finish.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. If cottage cheese is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Chop chocolate just before serving to prevent melting. Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with coconut or almond yogurt.
