Protein-Packed Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Pudding: A Sweet and Cozy Treat!
Looking for a new, protein-packed treat to indulge your sweet tooth while still keeping things healthy? I’ve got just the recipe for you, and I’ve got to give a big thank you to @ketosnackz and @fitfoodiefinds for the inspiration and amazing recipe! I absolutely love finding new ways to incorporate cottage cheese into my meals, especially when I can transform it into a sweet treat that’s high in protein.
This Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Pudding is the perfect balance of creamy, cozy, and indulgent—all while packing in those healthy macros! With the richness of cottage cheese combined with the warmth of pumpkin and spices, it’s a dessert that’ll satisfy your cravings without derailing your goals.
Ingredients:
- 6 oz Kalona SuperNatural Organic Cottage Cheese
- 3 tbsp pumpkin purée
- 1 egg
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Dash of vanilla
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Get it nice and warm while you prep this deliciousness!
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, pumpkin purée, egg, powdered sugar (or sweetener of choice), pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy. You want a consistency that’s velvety, with no lumps of cottage cheese.
- Grease two small, mug-sized ramekins and pour the pumpkin mixture evenly between the two. This recipe is perfect for sharing or for having a second serving later!
- Pop those ramekins into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. The pudding will firm up while still being perfectly creamy on the inside.
- Once it’s out of the oven, top with a dollop of whipped cream (if you’d like!), and there you have it—your protein-packed pumpkin dessert is ready to enjoy!
