Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- teaspoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the berries and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and form a sauce-like consistency.
Mash the berries with a fork or a potato masher until they reach your desired texture for the jam.
Stir in the chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sweetener if using. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, during which it will thicken further.
Divide the cottage cheese into two serving bowls.
Once the jam is cool enough, spoon it evenly over the cottage cheese in each bowl.
Serve immediately as a delicious, sugar-free treat or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a convenient breakfast option.
