Ingredients

  • 1 cup Breakstone's cottage cheese (splurge a little—go for full fat!)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup small white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Blend cottage cheese, maple syrup, pumpkin spice and vanilla extract together in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients (try not to eat all the chocolate chips on their own).
  • Cool in the fridge for a few minutes to set, then store in a covered container for up to three days refrigerated.

Notes

We love this recipe because it's so easy to make and on the healthier side for junk food thanks to all the protein in cottage cheese and the added protein powder.
Consider variations like skipping the pumpkin spice and adding a dash of almond extract and dark chocolate chips. Yum!
