Whipped cottage cheese dessert

This magical 4 ingredient, 5 minute, no-bake, no-cook treat has been my go-to dessert and snack lately! 

You're going to LOVE this recipe if you:

• Love everything pumpkin and pumpkin spice
• Enjoy luscious creamy desserts
• Want healthy, high-protein snacks without refined sugar
• Don't love the chunky lumps that are in cottage cheese
• Want a no-bake, no-cook dessert that is ready in less than 5 minutes
• Need a gluten-free pumpkin spice recipe

• 2 cups cottage cheese: Use any kind! I prefer fat-free, unsalted cottage cheese.
• 1 cup pumpkin puree: Canned is fine. Fresh would be fantastic! If you're not sure you love pumpkin flavor, start with ½ cup or ¾ cup. You can always taste it and blend in more!
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup: Or use any sweetened of your choice, such as honey, agave, brown sugar, molasses, or this homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer. Use more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter flavor!
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice: Again, start with less if you're not sure, you can always whip in more.

So you still get the benefits of cottage cheese (high in protein, low in carbs compared to yogurt), without having to endure that texture.

So combining whipped cottage cheese with pumpkin and spice this time of year is a no-brainer to me!

And if you want something you can sip with a straw, try adding milk and making a cottage cheese smoothie!

Serve chilled

These cottage cheese cups are great if you eat them as soon as they're made, so the cottage cheese is still cold from the fridge. If you like them to be a little cooler, then chill the pumpkin puree in the fridge before blending it in!

Or freeze pumpkin puree in ice cube trays if you want a super chilled pumpkin dessert! You'll need to blend the frozen pumpkin first, in that case, to make sure this comes out nice and smooth without any frozen pieces.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• ¾ teaspoon pumpkin spice - or up to 1 teaspoon, to taste
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup - or honey, or more to taste
• Optional toppings, see notes

Special equipment

• Small food processor

Instructions

• Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve immediately, topping with toppings of your choice, or chill and enjoy within 2 days.
  

Notes

• Do not use a high powered blender! It will turn the cottage cheese into a liquid instead of into a smooth creamy, fluffy cottage cheese! I use a this small food processor and it's perfect for this recipe.
• Use any kind of cottage cheese you like! I prefer fat-free, unsalted cottage cheese
• Chill your pumpkin puree in the fridge for a colder treat. Or freeze some in an ice cube tray! If using frozen pumpkin, puree the pumpkin first before adding cottage cheese, to make sure you don't have any ice chunks!
• Start with less pumpkin if you are not sure you like pumpkin flavor that much. I found that 2:1 cottage cheese:pumpkin ratio was perfect for me!
• Use honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or brown sugar, or a keto-approved sweetener for a low carb pumpkin dessert
• Topping ideas: whipped cream, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), hemp hearts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings, crushed pecans, candied pecans
