Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Warm cardamom berries
  • 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen: blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Cottage cheese base
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese simple-ingredient brand
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Toppings
  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp pepitas raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
  • 3 fresh mint leaves torn

Method
 

  1. Toast the pepitas in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking the pan, until they smell nutty and start to pop. Tip them onto a plate.
  2. Add the berries, honey, cinnamon, cardamom and water to the same skillet. Simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring now and then, until the berries soften and the juices turn syrupy. Stir in the lemon juice.
  3. Stir the lemon zest and vanilla into the cottage cheese. For a silky texture, blend it for 30 to 45 seconds instead.
  4. Spoon the cottage cheese into a bowl and pour the warm berries and their juices over the top.
  5. Finish with the hemp hearts, toasted pepitas, flaky salt and mint. Eat right away.
