Notes
helpful tips
- Use a blender for the cottage cheese: This gets rid of the curds and leaves just a silky, creamy cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you like it real sweet, feel free to add in more maple syrup. Just be sure to add a little more almond flour to counter the extra liquid.
- Chill it, if you want to eat it like cookie dough. This just gives the dough time to rehydrate the almond flour making it more cookie dough like.
- Cottage cheese normally comes in 16oz containers and 8 oz is about ¾ cup. 8 fluid oz is a full cup but cottage cheese is not a liquid but also not solid so it lands some where in the middle.
