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 the 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 to help it blend.
- Add the lime juice, lime zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Pulse a few times until everything is combined into a thick lime crema.
- Spoon the mixture into a small serving bowl.
- Top with crushed graham crackers and a pinch of extra lime zest right before serving.
Notes
- Always blend the cottage cheese alone first before adding any other ingredients. This is what gives you a smooth, lump-free base.
- Add the crushed graham crackers only right before eating. If you mix them in early or store them on top overnight, they will go soggy.
- Adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if you want it sweeter.
- Use fresh lime juice, not bottled. It makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
- This bowl is best eaten fresh and is not ideal for meal prep if you want to keep the crunch.
