IDK about you, but I am ready for all things pumpkin!
I am a sucker for pumpkin pie and a little obsessed with cottage cheese, so I had to give this seasonal classic a healthy twist.
You will need a blender, food processor or emersion blender to blend up the mixture! I am loving this set for the Beautiful Line from Walmart!
Ingredients:
The most creamiest, beautifully blended mixture of:
- cottage cheese or greek yogurt
- pumpkin puree
- pumpkin pie spice
- vanilla extract
- maple syrup
- cookies or choice: I did gluten free graham crackers
- nuts of choice: I did pecans
Can you swap the cottage cheese for greek yogurt?
Yes. absolutely!
I am NOT a greek yogurt fan at all. And some people just can’t do cottage cheese- the two are always interchangable!
Although, if you do not like the texture of cottage cheese, I will say, that when you blend it, it taste way different! It’s a super light, creamier taste and not sour like greek yogurt. Definetly give it a try, you might be surprised!
