Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A sprinkle of lemon zest (optional, but brightens it up beautifully)
Blend the Cottage Cheese
I start by adding the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. I blend it until it’s smooth and creamy, with no lumps — this is what gives it that luscious cloud-like texture.
2. Add Sweetness and Flavor
Next, I stir in the vanilla extract and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if I’m in the mood for extra sweetness.
3. Fold in the Whipped Cream
I gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping, making sure not to deflate the mixture. This is where the magic happens — it becomes so airy and light.
Add the Blueberries
I then fold in the blueberries, reserving a few for garnish. If I’m using frozen ones, I let them thaw a bit so they blend into the creaminess.
5. Chill
I like to pop the bowl in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes so everything can set and the flavors can come together.
6. Serve and Enjoy
I scoop the mixture into small bowls or parfait glasses, top with extra blueberries, and a little lemon zest if I have it on hand.
