Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides a creamy base rich in protein; substitute with Greek yogurt for a silkier texture.
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree Adds natural sweetness and moisture; fresh pumpkin can be used, but may require additional prep time.
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Elevates flavor with warm spices; can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if necessary.
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Sweetens the pudding naturally; honey or agave can also work, though they will change the flavor profile.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract A splash adds richness and depth to the flavor; consider it for an extra flavor boost.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Gives an extra protein punch; a great option for those looking to amp up their nutrient intake.
Toppings
  • 1 tbsp Granola Adds crunch and texture; sprinkle on top for an enjoyable contrast.
  • 2 tbsp Chocolate Chips A sweet touch; perfect for chocolate lovers wanting to indulge.
  • 2 tbsp Nuts Chopped walnuts or pecans offer a hearty crunch while boosting nutrition.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients: cottage cheese, canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth yet thick.
  3. Taste your pudding mixture. If you'd like more sweetness or spice, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. Blend again briefly for about 10 seconds.
  4. Serve your pudding immediately in bowls or cups, garnishing with optional toppings like granola or chocolate chips, or refrigerate for up to an hour.
