Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 graham crackers (crushed)
Filling
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended ultra-smooth)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Place the crushed graham crackers at the bottom of two serving bowls to form an even crust base.
- Make the filling: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, lime juice, lime zest, and honey. Blend until the mixture is ultra-smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Assemble the bowls: Pour the creamy cottage cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust evenly in each bowl, covering the base completely.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled bowls for at least one hour to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld perfectly.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use full-fat cottage cheese and blend thoroughly.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
- Adding a touch of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor dimension.
- Garnish with extra lime zest or a thin slice of lime for presentation.
- If you prefer a crunchier crust, toast the crushed graham crackers lightly before using.
