Ingredients
  

  • Cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for creamier texture; low-fat if preferred)
  • Ripe peaches (fresh when in season; frozen or canned in juice as backups)
  • Honey (any variety you like—wildflower, clover, or local honey)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, for a soft dessert-like note)
  • Fresh lemon (zest or a small squeeze for brightness, optional)
  • Almonds or pistachios (optional crunch)
  • Chia seeds or flax seeds (optional fiber boost)
  • Cinnamon or cardamom (optional spice)
  • Mint leaves (optional garnish)
  • Sea salt (a tiny pinch to sharpen flavors, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the peaches. If using fresh, rinse, slice, and remove the pit. For extra juiciness, let the slices sit with a tiny squeeze of lemon.
  2. Scoop the cottage cheese. Add about 1 cup to a bowl. Stir it briefly to smooth the texture.
  3. Add a hint of vanilla. Stir in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if you like a softer, dessert-like flavor.
  4. Top with peaches. Arrange slices or chunks over the cottage cheese. If using frozen, thaw slightly; if using canned, drain well.
  5. Drizzle the honey. About 1 to 2 teaspoons is plenty. Warm the honey a few seconds if it’s thick so it drizzles easily.
  6. Add crunch and extras. Sprinkle chopped almonds or pistachios, plus a pinch of chia or flax for added texture and fiber.
  7. Season lightly. A dusting of cinnamon or a whisper of cardamom adds warmth. A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt can make the sweetness pop.
  8. Finish with freshness. Add a few torn mint leaves if you have them. Eat right away for the best texture.
