Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

First preheat your oven to 400º and then halve your squash and remove the guts. I know that sounds gross but I wasn’t sure how else to say it… Insides maybe??
Brush each half with your melted coconut oil and lightly dust with a pinch of sea salt and brown sugar. Place gourds face down on your greased cookie sheet and roast in oven for 25 minutes
Place your 1 cup of cottage cheese in a medium sized mixing bowl and whip using an immersion blender until your cottage cheese achieves a smooth and creamy texture. ( you can also do this step using a food processor or stand up mixer ).
Add 1 tbsp of honey to your whipped cottage cheese and mix together thoroughly. Place a 1/4 tsp of vanilla paste in the bottom of each cavity of your squash and fill the remainder of your cavities with your cottage cheese mixture. Garnish with some crushed walnuts and drizzle with some honey… or vanilla paste… or honey and vanilla paste totally up to you. Mix everything together in the shell of your gourd and enjoy this incredibly healthy and delicious breakfast or dessert style treat!
