Dietary Adaptations
Low-Fat Option: Use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese.
No Added Sugar: Skip honey and rely on the natural sweetness of pineapple.
Dairy-Free Alternative: Substitute with kosher-certified dairy-free cottage-style alternative.
High-Protein Boost: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds.
Low-Carb Version: Use fresh pineapple in a smaller quantity.
Tips & Troubleshooting
If the mixture becomes watery, drain pineapple longer or pat dry with paper towel.
For extra creaminess, stir cottage cheese before adding pineapple.
If too tart, add a small drizzle of honey.
If too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
For smoother texture, pulse cottage cheese briefly in a food processor before mixing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve as a light breakfast with whole-grain toast.
Enjoy as a post-workout snack.
Spoon into lettuce cups for a refreshing presentation.
Layer with granola for a parfait-style treat (ensure granola is kosher-certified).
Serve chilled as a simple Shavuot dairy dish.
Notes
This is a dairy (milchig) dish and should be served according to kosher dietary separation laws.
Always check for reliable kosher certification on packaged products.
