Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (low fat or full fat)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (ensure it is pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers or chopped pecans (for topping)

Method

Preparation

Place the cottage cheese and pumpkin puree into a blender or food processor.
Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder and the pumpkin pie spice to the mixture.
Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add the maple syrup or honey and pulse again.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into a medium-sized bowl.
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers or chopped pecans on top for a delightful crunch.
Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a firmer, mousse-like texture.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For added flavor, consider a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
