Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup frozen or fresh berries* or fruit of choice  (could try 2 Tbsp all-fruit preserves too but you may want to eliminate the sweetener)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey, coconut nectar or agave OR 1 packet of stevia or to taste (Feel free to adjust sweetness to your liking, will depend on your fruit and ingredients)
  • optional add-ins: lemon zest, orange zest, lime zest, ground cinnamon, ginger, cocoa/cacao powder

Garnish ideas, optional 

  • Fresh fruit
  • Chopped nuts or seeds
  • Shredded or flaked coconut
  • Cacao nibs, chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
  • Citrus zest
  • Granola or cereal
  • Chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to the bowl of a small food processor or high-powered blender. Process or blend until smooth, about 60-90 seconds. Garnish (if desired) and serve immediately or pour into a serving dish and chill for 30-60 minutes, then garnish and enjoy!

Notes

*To make a chocolate-peanut butter version, substitution 1 Tbsp cocoa or cacao powder and 2 Tbsp peanut flour OR 1 Tbsp peanut butter for the berries/fruit. If you are allergic to peanuts, use almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
Some of my favorite combinations:
 
  1.  Chocolate covered strawberry mousse (pictured) - use strawberries as the fruit, garnish with dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries or strawberries. 
  2. Tropical Dream - use mango chunks as the fruit, add a drizzle of orange juice when blending (1-2 Tbsp), garnish with shredded coconut and fresh pineapple (or more mango chunks).
  3.  Blueberry-Lemon Crunch- use blueberries as the fruit, add a bit of fresh lemon zest (1/2 tsp), garnish with almond granola, sliced almonds and fresh blueberries
