Ingredients
- 200 g cottage cheese
- Juice of 1 lemon (plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
- 2 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
Optional:
- Lemon slices, lemon zest
- Strawberry slices
- Flaked almonds
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, lemon juice and maple syrup into a blender.

- Serve in small bowls or glasses, topped with fresh sliced strawberries, lemons or lemon zest. Optional: Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for a cooler pudding.
Notes
- Use fresh lemons – bottled lemon juice won’t deliver the same brightness or freshness.
- Strain the lemon juice with a sieve: to prevent adding seeds into the blender.
- Low-sodium cottage cheese: some brands of cottage cheese can be high in sodium. Opt for a low-sodium variety if required.
