Ingredients
  

2 cups low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (for garnish)

2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berries: Rinse the mixed fresh berries gently under cold running water to remove any dirt. If using strawberries, remove the green tops (hulling) and slice them into bite-sized pieces for easier consumption. Set aside.

    Mix the Cottage Cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy low-fat cottage cheese, your choice of honey or maple syrup, and the pure vanilla extract. Using a spatula or spoon, gently stir the mixture until all ingredients are well blended and the cottage cheese is smooth and creamy.

      Layer the Ingredients: Take serving cups or bowls and begin by spooning in a layer of the creamy cottage cheese mixture at the bottom. Next, add a layer of mixed berries over the cheese. Repeat the layering process, alternating between the cottage cheese and the berries, until the cups are nearly full, ensuring the final layer is a vibrant topping of fresh berries.

        Garnish: For a delightful crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of each cup, if you're using them. To elevate the flavor, add a light dusting of ground cinnamon. Finally, garnish each cup with finely chopped fresh mint leaves to add a burst of color and a refreshing aroma.

          Serve: These cottage cheese cups can be enjoyed immediately for a fresh treat, or alternatively, you can place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a chilled dessert experience.
