Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) cottage cheese, drained
Sweeteners:
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine cottage cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt in a compact food processor, ensuring all ingredients are at a consistent cool temperature.
- Pulse the mixture vigorously for 60-90 seconds, periodically scraping down the sides to guarantee a uniformly silky and creamy texture without any visible lumps.
- For a chilled pudding-like dessert, transfer the whipped mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until thoroughly cooled and set.
- Alternatively, for a frozen treat reminiscent of ice cream, pour the mixture into freezer-safe containers and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 45 minutes to prevent ice crystal formation.
- Before serving, garnish with optional toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, dark chocolate shavings, or a light drizzle of honey to enhance the dessert’s visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Allow frozen dessert cups to soften at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to achieve an optimal, creamy consistency that melts smoothly on the palate.
Notes
- Creamy cottage cheese transforms into a velvety smooth dessert with just a few simple blends.
- Chilling the mixture creates two delightful textures: a silky pudding or a frozen treat perfect for hot days.
- Experiment with various toppings like fresh berries, honey drizzle, or crushed nuts to personalize your dessert.
- Freezing allows for a refreshing ice cream-like consistency that melts smoothly on your tongue.
- Quick preparation means you can whip up this healthy dessert in under five minutes, making it ideal for spontaneous sweet cravings.
