Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0 teaspoons Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the berries and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and form a sauce-like consistency.
Step 2
Mash the berries with a fork or a potato masher until they reach your desired texture for the jam.
Step 3
Stir in the chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sweetener if using. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, during which it will thicken further.
Step 5
Divide the cottage cheese into two serving bowls.
Step 6
Once the jam is cool enough, spoon it evenly over the cottage cheese in each bowl.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a delicious, sugar-free treat or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a convenient breakfast option.
