Tips
- Choose a high-quality cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor. Full-fat versions tend to be creamier.
- For a more vibrant presentation, use a clear glass bowl to showcase the beautiful layers of white cheese and red jam.
- If you want to reduce sugar, opt for a low-sugar strawberry jam or use fresh strawberry puree.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like raspberry or mixed berry for variety.
- Chill your cottage cheese beforehand for a more refreshing snack, especially during warm weather.
- For added nutrition, sprinkle some chia seeds or chopped nuts on top for extra crunch and health benefits.
- If you're watching portion sizes, use a kitchen scale to measure your cottage cheese precisely.
