Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Cottage cheese: 2 cups (full-fat for extra creaminess, low-fat for lighter texture)
  • Peanut butter: 1/2 cup (creamy, natural or conventional)
  • Sweetener: 2–4 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or agave (adjust to taste)
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Cocoa powder (optional): 1–2 tablespoons for a chocolate version
  • Pinch of salt: Balances sweetness and boosts flavor
  • Milk or water (optional): 1–3 tablespoons to thin if needed
  • Toppings (optional): Sliced banana, mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, cinnamon, or a drizzle of melted chocolate

Method
 

  1. Blend the base: Add cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Go smooth: Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely creamy. Scrape down the sides and blend again. If it’s too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or water.
  3. Taste and adjust: Sweeten more if you like, or add a bit more peanut butter for richness. If using cocoa powder, blend it in now.
  4. Chill: Spoon into bowls or jars. Chill for at least 30 minutes for the best texture. It thickens and sets slightly as it cools.
  5. Finish with toppings: Add sliced banana, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or a dusting of cinnamon. Serve cold.
