Who would’ve thought cottage cheese could be used in a dessert? This can be made half an hour before rushing out the door to a potluck.

Ingredients

200g fresh or frozen strawberries.

200g low fat (less than 2%) cottage cheese

1 tsp SweetNZ Classic Blend (sugar-free sweetener)

Directions

Six gingernuts shattered and scattered over the top just before serving

Scoop the cottage cheese into a small bowl and process with a stick blender until smooth.

Chop up the berries. Allow variety with some chopped and some mashed.

Gently fold all the ingredients together and chill.

Serve in any glassware and sprinkle with the gingernut crumbs.

TIP

If using frozen berries, make sure they are defrosted.
