Equipment

  • Cutting board: Ideal for slicing your fresh peaches safely and evenly.
  • Sharp Knife: A good-quality knife makes cutting peaches quick and hassle-free.
  • Mixing Bowl Perfect for combining ingredients or assembling your toppings.
  • Spoon: For scooping and spreading the cottage cheese evenly.
  • Serving dish or bowl: Showcase your creation in a bowl that makes it feel as special as it tastes.

Ingredients
  

Core Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese: Choose your favorite variety—regular low-fat, or even flavored.
  • 1 fresh peach: Look for ripe juicy peaches for the best natural sweetness.
  • 1 –2 teaspoons honey optional: Adds a touch of sweetness if desired.

Optional Toppings:

  • Granola: For a satisfying crunch and extra fiber.
  • Chia seeds: A nutrient-packed boost with omega-3s.
  • Mint leaves: A fresh and fragrant garnish.
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg: A sprinkle of warm spice for added depth.

Substitution Ideas:

  • Canned peaches: Perfect when fresh peaches are out of season. Choose those packed in juice rather than syrup for a healthier option.
  • Greek yogurt: Swap out or combine with cottage cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar: Use as sweetener alternatives to honey.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  • Wash and dry the peach thoroughly.
  • Slice the peach into even wedges or bite-sized pieces, removing the pit.

Step 2: Assemble the Base

  • In your serving bowl, add 1 cup of cottage cheese. Spread it evenly to create a smooth base.

Step 3: Add the Peaches

  • Arrange the peach slices on top of the cottage cheese. You can fan them out for a visually appealing presentation or scatter them casually—it’s up to you!

Step 4: Sweeten and Top

  • Drizzle 1–2 teaspoons of honey over the peaches for a touch of natural sweetness.
  • Sprinkle your choice of toppings, such as granola, chia seeds, or a pinch of cinnamon, to enhance flavor and texture.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  • Add a sprig of mint or a light dusting of nutmeg for a finishing touch.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, vibrant creation!
