Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) fresh small-curd full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup (125 g) fresh raspberries, rinsed and patted dry
- 1/2 cup (50 g) crunchy cookies or biscuits, roughly chopped (e.g., buttery shortbread or digestive biscuits)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
- Scoop 1 cup of fresh cottage cheese into a mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Mix gently with a spoon or pulse lightly in a blender until creamy but slightly textured, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overblending.
- Zest 1 teaspoon of lemon peel over the cottage cheese mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Rinse 1 cup fresh raspberries gently under cool water and pat dry. Discard any bruised berries.
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup of your favorite crunchy cookies into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture into a serving bowl. Layer half the raspberries evenly on top, then sprinkle half the chopped cookies over the berries.
- Repeat the layers once more, ending with cookies on top.
- Optionally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds on top for extra texture and nutrition.
- Drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup or add a few extra lemon zest flakes if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Avoid overblending to keep creaminess without runniness. Fresh raspberries are preferred; if using frozen, thaw and drain well to avoid sogginess. Use crunchy cookies like shortbread or digestive biscuits to maintain texture. Layer ingredients instead of mixing for best texture contrast. Cookies should be added just before serving if preparing in advance to keep crunch.
