- In a food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.

- Roll each ball in your fave topping.
- Place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up. Store in a sealed container.
Notes
If the mixture is too sticky, chill before rolling. Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Make sure your cottage cheese is full fat and not watery, or the mix might be too loose. For smooth texture, blend the cottage cheese fully before adding the other ingredients. I use coconut flour instead of almond flour because it gives a smoother texture, with less grittiness. And (in my opinion) pairs better with pumpkin spice flavors. Chilling helps the balls firm up and deepens the flavor, so don’t skip it!
