Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure you have all your ingredients measured out: 1/4 cup of raisins and 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese.
- Begin by taking a clear glass or a small bowl in which you will assemble the parfait.
- Spoon a few tablespoons of cottage cheese into the bottom of the glass or bowl, creating the first layer.
- Sprinkle a portion of the raisins evenly over the layer of cottage cheese.
4. Repeat Layers:
- Continue to layer the remaining cottage cheese and raisins, alternating each layer until you have used up all of the ingredients. The final layer should be a small amount of raisins for a visually appealing top layer.
- If you prefer a homogenous mixture instead of layers, you can mix the raisins and cottage cheese together in a bowl before transferring to the serving glass or bowl.
- If you like your parfait chilled, cover the glass or bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
- Enjoy your cottage cheese raisin parfait immediately as a healthy breakfast option, snack, or light dessert.
Tips:
- Use fresh, quality cottage cheese to ensure the best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, consider blending the cottage cheese before mixing in the raisins.
- Soak the raisins in warm water for 10-15 minutes if you want them to be plumper and softer.
- Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- For added crunch, top with a handful of granola or chopped nuts.
- Layer with fresh fruit like berries or banana slices for a more complex parfait.
This Cottage Cheese Raisin Parfait is not only simple to prepare but also a versatile treat that you can enjoy any time. With just two main ingredients and a few optional add-ons, you can create a delightful dish that's both tasty and nutritious. Give it a try, and you might find it becoming a favorite in your meal rotation!
