Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup silken tofu optional for extra creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients

  • Gather all the ingredients and ensure the coconut milk is chilled overnight to separate the cream.

Blend the Base

  • Combine the chilled coconut milk, frozen strawberries, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Optional Add-ins

  • Add silken tofu for extra creaminess. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup for a sweeter dessert.

Taste and Adjust

  • Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding a splash of coconut milk or extra strawberries.

Serve

  • Spoon the mixture into serving bowls or glasses. For a pretty finish, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

1.Setting Coconut Milk in the Fridge
Ideally, coconut milk is processed and chilled overnight to separate the cream. This cream is necessary to make a rich and creamy base.
2.Using frozen fruits
Frozen strawberries are added to the dessert, creating the structure required for consistency and eliminating the need for more ice, thus allowing for a thick and creamy texture.
3.Optional Silken Tofu
Adding silken tofu is not compulsory but encourages extra creaminess and a gentle protein boost.
4.Sweetener Adjustments
Sweetness should be adjusted to your taste. Honey or maple syrup naturally sweetens the treat but can leave you without that option for a less sugary alternative.
5.Texture Customization
Longer blending yields smoother textures. To achieve a chunky texture, give the blender a few pulses and leave small pieces of fruit intact.
