Method
 

  1. Add the entire 16-ounce container of cottage cheese, the sugar-free pudding mix, and the mixed berries into the bowl of your food processor.
  2. Turn the food processor on high and blend for at least 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth. Stop halfway through to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
  3. In a serving bowl or glass jar, place a layer of your chosen granola at the bottom.
  4. Add a large scoop of the blended cheesecake mixture, then add another layer of granola. Repeat until the bowl is full.
  5. Eat immediately for a soft texture, or place in the fridge for an hour to allow the starches to set into a firm consistency.

No Bake Cottage Cheese Cheesecake Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATION: When eaten immediately, this will have the texture of a thick mousse. Chilling it for an hour allows it to firm up into a denser texture.
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Do not swap the cottage cheese for plain greek yogurt. Yogurt contains too much water and lacks the curd structure necessary to set firmly, resulting in a runny liquid.
THE BETTER LATER RULE: This recipe actually improves after resting in the fridge. The starches in the pudding mix fully hydrate and the flavors of the berries meld perfectly with the dairy over a few hours.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHING TOUCH: Keep your granola separate until the exact moment you plan to eat. Layering the oats too early will cause them to absorb moisture and turn soggy instead of providing that necessary crunch.
