Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 3 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin
• 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Soak the raw cashews in 2 cups of water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.

Step 2

Drain the soaked cashews and rinse well under cold water.

Step 3

In a blender, combine drained cashews, 1 cup of fresh water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the cashew mixture into a medium saucepan and heat over low heat.

Step 5

Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set, resulting in a cottage cheese texture.

Step 7

For the jam, in a small saucepan, combine mixed berries and honey over medium heat, stirring until the berries begin to break down, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Mash the berries slightly and stir in chia seeds. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 9

Let the jam cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 10

To serve, spoon the homemade paleo cottage cheese into bowls and top with the chilled berry jam.
