No reviews

A creamy, high-protein dessert bowl that tastes like key lime pie but takes only 5 minutes to make. Blended cottage cheese forms a thick, smooth lime crema base, topped with crushed graham crackers for that classic pie crust crunch. No baking, no waiting, just a quick and satisfying treat.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (blended silky smooth)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest (plus extra for topping)
  • 12 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 graham crackers, crushed

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Spoon the lime mixture into a small serving bowl.
  4. 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.
