Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ teaspoon pumpkin spice (or up to 1 teaspoon, to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (or more to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts)
  • Granola
  • Chia seeds
  • Cinnamon sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Measure out 2 cups of cottage cheese and 1 cup of pumpkin puree. Have your pumpkin spice and maple syrup or honey ready.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup or honey into a small food processor.
  3. Process mixture: Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately, topped with your choice of optional toppings like nuts, granola, or seeds for added texture and flavor.
  5. Storage: Alternatively, chill the whipped cottage cheese in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness and taste.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to your preference.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Optional toppings like nuts and seeds add a nice crunch and nutritional boost.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned 100% pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for best results.
  • Keep the mixture refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
