Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water, divided
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin (about 2 and 1/4 teaspoons)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or lactose free if needed)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (optional)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon or orange juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: berries, a spoon of chia, or a few orange segments
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin: Pour 1/2 cup cool water into a bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Dissolve it: Heat the remaining 1/2 cup water until hot but not boiling. Stir the hot water into the bloomed gelatin until it fully dissolves.
- Blend the creamy base: In a blender, mix the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese (if using), citrus juice, vanilla, sweetener (if using), and pinch of salt until smooth.
- Combine without curdling: Slowly pour the warm gelatin water into the yogurt mixture while blending on low.
- Chill: Pour into 3 to 4 small cups or jars. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until set.
- Serve: Top with berries or fruit if desired.
Notes
Keep portions small and adjust flavors based on personal preference. Can be made with different flavors if citrus bothers the stomach.
