Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather fresh cottage cheese, blueberries, chocolate chips, honey, and vanilla extract. Rinse the blueberries and zest some lemon if using. This prep ensures a smooth mixing process and balanced flavor.
  2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir gently until smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated, setting the stage for sweet and tangy bites.
  3. Add Blueberries and Chocolate: Fold in blueberries and chocolate chips carefully to keep the berries intact and evenly distribute the chocolate throughout the mixture for consistent flavor.
  4. Form the Clusters: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, shaping them into bite-sized clusters that will freeze evenly.
  5. Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours until the clusters firm up, creating that perfect frozen texture you’ll love.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to help clusters set faster and hold their shape better.
  • Don’t overmix; gently fold ingredients to avoid crushing blueberries and maintain balance.
  • Choose dark chocolate for rich cocoa flavor and less sugar, keeping clusters more healthful.
  • Freeze clusters individually on the tray before transferring to a container to prevent sticking.
  • Serve within two weeks for the freshest taste and best texture.
