Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat for best creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
  • 1–2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 2–3 tablespoons powdered erythritol, allulose, or your preferred low-carb sweetener, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional: 2–3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mascarpone for extra richness
  • Optional toppings: a few fresh berries, coconut flakes, crushed pistachios, or extra zest

Method
 

  1. Prep your lemon: Zest the lemon first, then juice it. Measure 2 tablespoons juice and 1–2 teaspoons zest.
  2. Add to blender: Combine cottage cheese, lemon juice, zest, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a high-speed blender or food processor. Add Greek yogurt or mascarpone if using.
  3. Blend until silky: Process on high for 45–60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and fluffy. Taste and adjust sweetener or lemon.
  4. Chill for best texture: Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. This helps it set and taste extra creamy.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with a few berries, a sprinkle of zest, or nuts for crunch. Serve cold.
