Ingredients
    For the Banana Pudding
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 banana (large ripe)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
    • Cookie Base
  • 30 cookies (such as Simple Mills toasted pecan or Siete Mexican shortbread)
  • 2 tablespoons melted grass fed butter or coconut oil
    • Optional Topping
  • Homemade whipped cream
  • Fresh banana slices
Instructions
  1. 1
    Add cottage cheese, banana, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. The texture should be silky with no lumps remaining.
  2. 2
    Transfer the pudding to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to thicken and allow the flavors to develop.
  3. 3
    Make the cookie crumble. Pulse the cookies with melted butter or coconut oil in a food processor until crumbly but still slightly textured for crunch.
  4. 4
    Assemble. Add a couple spoonfuls of cookie crumble to the bottom of each dessert cup. Layer with banana pudding. Repeat for additional layers if desired.
  5. 5
    Top and serve. Add homemade whipped cream and fresh banana slices just before serving for the best texture and presentation.
