Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients. Measure out the cottage cheese, peanut butter, and your preferred sweetener to ensure accurate blending and balanced flavor.
- Blend the mixture. Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, and sweetener into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Portion into cups. Spoon the blended cheesecake mixture into small serving cups or ramekins, evenly distributing it among them.
- Chill before serving. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake cups to set and flavors to meld, enhancing the texture and taste.
- Serve chilled. Enjoy the Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Cheesecake Cups cold, optionally garnished with nuts, cocoa nibs, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use full-fat cottage cheese or blend longer to break down curds completely.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less sweetener depending on preference.
- Try swapping peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different flavors.
- This recipe is protein-rich and can be a great post-workout snack.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
