Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 sheets graham crackers
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir well to evenly incorporate the sugar into the cheese.
Step 2
Using a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, ensuring a fluffy and consistent texture.
Step 4
Wash the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Rinse the blueberries and set the fruit aside.
Step 5
Crush the graham crackers into small, crumbly pieces using your hands or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Step 6
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the dessert as follows: start with a spoonful of the cottage cheese mixture, followed by a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, then a few pieces of fruit. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with fruit on top.
Step 7
Garnish each serving with a mint leaf, if desired, for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy your delightful Mary's Cottage Cheese Dessert!
