Notes
Full-fat cottage cheese provides the creamiest results, though low-fat can be used.
If the mixture is too thick to blend, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk to help the blades move.
Do not freeze this dessert as it will become grainy upon thawing.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
