Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick off this delightful recipe, first, grab your mixing bowl and combine the cottage cheese, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. I find using a sturdy spoon or spatula helps to blend everything together smoothly without leaving any lumps. The first time I made this, I was amazed at how creamy the mixture turned out! It has this luxurious texture that just screams to be eaten right off the spoon. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
