Instructions
- In a food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- Add pumpkin puree, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and Swerve. Blend until thick and sticky.1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice, 1 tablespoon Swerve
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if you want.
- Use a measuring teaspoon to scoop a bit of dough and roll it into balls with your hands. You’ll get about 40 mini bites.
- Roll each ball in your fave topping.1 tablespoon Pumpkin Spice, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder - unsweetened, 2 tablespoon Sugar Free Chocolate Chips, 2 tablespoon Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
- 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!
