Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree, blotted dry
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, combine the cottage cheese and softened cream cheese. Blend on high until the mixture is completely silky smooth with no graininess. This crucial step may take 1-2 minutes.
- Add the blotted pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.

Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Blot the pumpkin puree well to avoid excess moisture.
- Chill for best results.
