Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Cottage cheese: 1 cup (full-fat or low-fat, your choice)
  • Pumpkin puree: 1/2 cup (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • Sweetener: 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (or a sugar-free option)
  • Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pumpkin pie spice: 1 teaspoon (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • Pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
  • Toppings (optional): granola, chopped pecans or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, banana slices, or a drizzle of nut butter

Method
 

  1. Add cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, sweetener, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt to a bowl.
  2. For ultra-creamy texture, blend the mixture for 20–30 seconds using a blender or immersion blender. For a chunkier, spoonable texture, just stir well with a spoon.
  3. Taste and adjust: add more spice for warmth, more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter, or a splash of milk if you want it looser.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and add your favorite toppings. Granola or nuts add crunch, and a little nut butter adds richness.
  5. Serve immediately, or chill for 10–15 minutes if you like it extra cold and thick.
