Ingredients

Creamy Base

2 cups cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
1 tablespoon honey optional

Fruit Layer

1 2 cups pineapple chunks fresh or drained canned
1 2 teaspoon lime juice optional brightness

1 4 cup granola adds crunch
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts optional

Method

Stir cottage cheese and honey together in a mixing bowl until creamy and evenly combined.
Add pineapple chunks and lime juice gently to keep the fruit juicy and intact.
Spoon the mixture into serving bowls, spreading the pineapple evenly throughout.
Top with granola, cinnamon, and walnuts for extra crunch and flavor contrast.
Serve chilled for refreshing texture, or freeze briefly for a colder dessert-style snack.

Notes

Serve immediately for softer texture or add toppings later for crisp crunch. Freeze portions briefly for a firmer treat, but avoid freezing too long because cottage cheese changes texture. Handle gently after chilling to keep pineapple pieces intact. Customize flavors with berries, coconut, or vanilla. Store covered in the refrigerator for three days.
