1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped (for garnish)

2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)

Prepare the Berries: Rinse the mixed berries under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into smaller pieces for easier eating.

    Mix the Cottage Cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy.

      Layer the Ingredients: In serving cups or bowls, start by adding a layer of the cottage cheese mixture. Follow it with a layer of mixed berries, then repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a generous topping of berries.

        Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top for added crunch (if using). Add a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavor. Finally, garnish each cup with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
