FAQs
Can I use flavored cottage cheese instead of plain?
Yes, flavored cottage cheese can be used, but it may alter the overall flavor. Using plain cottage cheese allows better control over sweetness and complements the fresh fruit flavors more naturally.
Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb diet?
This dish contains natural sugars from the fruit and honey, so it can fit into moderate low-carb diets. For stricter low-carb plans, reduce or omit the honey and choose berries lower in carbs like raspberries or blackberries.
