Equipment

  • Food processor optional

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese Note 1
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or to taste + a bit more to drizzle, Note 2
  • ½ cup blueberries Notes 3-6
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • 2 small plums for instance 1 red and 1 yellow

Instructions

  • Optional but recommended: Whip the cottage cheese in a food processor until perfectly smooth and creamy; depending on your food processor, it will take 1-2 minutes, and you will have to scrape the walls of the food processor a couple of times in between.
    Alternatively, use the cottage cheese as it is.
    1 cup cottage cheese
  • Add honey to taste.
    1-2 teaspoon honey or more to taste
  • Add fruit: Divide the cottage cheese into two serving bowls and top with berries and plums, pitted and sliced.
    ½ cup blueberries + ½ cup raspberries + 2 small plums
  • Drizzle the fruit with a little more honey if desired.

Notes

  1. Cottage cheese: I prefer the full-fat variety, but low-fat cottage cheese is also ok and contains a higher protein content. You can leave the cheese as it is or whip it. I definitely prefer it whipped; it’s incredibly creamy and delightful.
  2. Substitute honey with any other sweetener, for instance, maple syrup, agave nectar, white or brown sugar, xylitol, erythritol, stevia, etc.
  3. Spring: Strawberries, rhubarb, cherries, apricots, pineapples, kiwi, mangoes, and grapefruit.
  4. Summer: Berries, cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, watermelon, cantaloupe, apricots, mangoes, and grapes.
  5. Autumn: Apples, pears, grapes, persimmons, figs, plums, kiwi, and Asian pears.
  6. Winter: Oranges, grapefruits, clementines, tangerines, pomegranates, kiwis, persimmons, apples, and pears.
