A quick and easy romantic dessert bowl combining whipped cottage cheese, fresh strawberries, and finely chopped dark chocolate for a healthy, indulgent treat perfect for cozy evenings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 oz (28 g) dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (15 g) chopped nuts (optional, toasted almonds or walnuts)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and slice 1 cup (150 g) of fresh strawberries. Set aside to let their juices mingle and sweeten naturally.
  2. Place 1 cup (240 ml) of small-curd cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a whisk or electric mixer, whip until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Mix in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of pure vanilla extract into the whipped cottage cheese. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Finely chop 1 ounce (28 g) of dark chocolate into small shards.
  5. In a serving bowl or glass, layer half the whipped cottage cheese, then a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate. Repeat layers.
  6. Top with 2 tablespoons (15 g) of toasted chopped nuts and a few fresh mint leaves if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

If cottage cheese is watery, drain slightly before whipping to keep texture rich and creamy. Chop dark chocolate finely for better melting and distribution. Adjust sweetness based on strawberry ripeness. Nuts can be omitted or substituted with seeds for nut-free version. Can be served immediately or chilled for better flavor melding.
