Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese Blended for a silky texture
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Provides creaminess and tang
  • 1/4 cup Fresh key lime juice Can substitute with regular lime juice
  • 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances flavor
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Crushed graham crackers Add right before serving for crunch
  • Key lime zest and slices For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather and measure all the ingredients beforehand.
  2. Let cottage cheese and Greek yogurt sit at room temperature for smoother blending.
Blending
  1. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, key lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture has a pudding-like texture. Scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste Adjustments
  1. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more honey or lime juice as desired.
Portioning
  1. Divide the mixture evenly among four small bowls or jars using a rubber spatula.
  2. Smooth the tops as desired.
Topping
  1. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over each bowl right before serving to maintain their crunch.
  2. Optional: toast the crumbs for added flavor.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate the bowls for about 30 minutes to firm them up and enhance the flavor.
Serving
  1. Garnish each bowl with fresh key lime zest and a slice of lime before serving.

Notes

These bowls can be prepped up to two days in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. The graham cracker topping should be added just before serving.
