Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Low-fat cottage cheese can be used, but full-fat provides the best creaminess.
- For extra richness, blend in a tablespoon of nut butter.
- For a mocha twist, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute silken tofu for cottage cheese.
