Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4–5 squares)
- Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips or chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin: Spoon the 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree onto a paper towel and blot to remove excess water.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, blotted pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the smooth mixture to a bowl.
- Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and any optional add-ins like white chocolate chips or pecans.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
- Serve cold with apple slices or graham crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Blotting the pumpkin puree removes excess moisture for a thicker consistency.
- Chilling enhances the flavors and texture.
- Great for kids as a healthy snack.
