Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended silky smooth)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp lime zest (plus extra for topping)
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese to a small blender or food processor. Blend it alone until completely smooth and thick. Scrape down the sides as needed. Do not add any liquid.
- Add lime juice, lime zest, honey, and vanilla extract to the blender. Pulse a few times until everything is combined into a thick lime crema.
- Spoon the lime mixture into a small serving bowl.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers and a little extra lime zest on top right before serving.
Notes
- Always blend the cottage cheese on its own first before adding any other ingredients. This gives you the smoothest, thickest base.
- Do not mix the graham crackers into the base ahead of time. Add them on top only when you are ready to eat to keep them crunchy.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice works but the taste will be slightly different.
- Adjust honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
- This bowl is best eaten right away after topping with graham crackers.
