Ingredients
For the Berry Cottage Cheese Cups
-
2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
-
1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
-
2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
For Garnish (Optional)
-
5 fresh mint leaves
-
¼ cup sliced almonds or walnuts
Instructions
-
Mix the creamy base.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. The texture should look slightly fluffy and glossy -
Create the first layer.
Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture evenly into four serving cups. Use the back of your spoon to smooth the surface into an even layer. -
Add the berry layer.
Scatter a colorful mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the base. Make sure berries are evenly distributed for balanced flavor in every bite. -
Top with remaining cream.
Dollop the remaining cottage cheese mixture on top. Gently press down to level it without crushing the berries. -
Sprinkle chia seeds.
Add chia seeds over each cup. Let them sit for 5–10 minutes so they absorb moisture and create a soft, pudding-like texture. -
Garnish and serve.
Finish with fresh mint leaves and sliced almonds or walnuts for crunch. Serve immediately or chill before serving for an extra refreshing treat
