Ingredients
3 cups (24 oz.) fat free cottage cheese
1 box (0.3 oz or 8.5 g) Zero Sugar Black Cherry Jell-O
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
12 oz. (About 2 1/4 cups) blackberries
Each parfait uses about 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese mixture and 2 oz of blackberries. Swap in raspberries or sliced strawberries if you like, and any Zero Sugar Jell-O flavor works with this method.
Cottage cheese and Jell-O powder. Sounds like something from a 1970s church potluck, right? Wrong. Blend them together and you get a smooth, creamy black cherry dessert with a serious protein punch. Layer it with fresh blackberries or strawberries and enjoy. Try it before you judge it..
1. Blend the base: Put 3 cups fat free cottage cheese in a small bowl (if using an immersion blender) or a food processor. Add 1 box (0.3 oz) Zero Sugar Black Cherry Jell-O and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, then blend until completely smooth.
2. Assemble the parfaits: For each serving, spoon 4 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture into a small bowl or cup. Add a layer of blackberries (about 1 oz), then another 4 tablespoons of the mixture, and finish with a final layer of blackberries (about 1 oz) on top.
3. Chill before serving: For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the gelatin flavor sets into the base.
Yield: 6 Servings with 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese mix and 2 oz. of the blackberries each.
