Lemon Meringue Cottage Cheese Bowls are a creamy, high-protein dessert that comes together in minutes. Blended cottage cheese forms a smooth base, topped with lemon curd, whipped cream, and crushed gluten-free graham crackers for a light and satisfying treat.

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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat or 2% cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free or low-sugar lemon curd
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or liquid stevia (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp whipped cream or whipped coconut cream
  • 2 gluten-free graham crackers, crushed

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese into a small blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and silky, resembling a thick pastry cream.
  2. Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a serving bowl. Stir in the lemon curd, lemon zest, and sweetener if using, until well combined.
  3. Add a generous dollop of whipped cream or whipped coconut cream on top of the lemon base.
  4. Sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers over the top right before serving to keep them crunchy. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Blend the cottage cheese long enough to remove all curds for a smooth result.
  • Add the crushed graham crackers just before eating to prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Swap maple syrup for liquid stevia to keep the sugar content lower.
  • Use whipped coconut cream to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Store the blended cottage cheese base in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add toppings fresh when ready to serve.
