Method
Scoop cottage1 cheese into a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth, with no lumps.
Drizzle with honey.
Mix until creamy and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Mash the cottage cheese with a fork, not a blender. This keeps a delicate grainy texture, and the honey spreads evenly instead of sinking to the bottom of the bowl.
- Substitutions
- Swap the honey for 1 tsp of jam or half a ripe banana mashed with a fork. Swap 5% cottage cheese for 2%, and the mixture will be drier, so add a spoon of yogurt.
- Common mistakes
- Cottage cheese that is too dry and crumbly won't bind and stays lumpy. Add 1 tbsp of milk or yogurt until it turns creamy.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat the finished mixture right away. The honey draws out moisture, and whey appears after a couple of hours. Opened cottage cheese keeps 2–3 days in the fridge.
- Serve with
- Serve with apple or pear slices as an afternoon snack, or spread it on a crispbread.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
