Ingredients

For the Crust

30 sweet thins (Simple Mills brand sweet thins, or graham crackers of choice)
2 tbsp butter (grass-fed, or organic coconut oil)

2 cups cottage cheese (2% small curd (or 4% for more flavor))
2 limes (juice & zest)
2 tbsp maple syrup (organic)

Instructions

1
In a large food processor, pulse the Sweet Thins into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until evenly combined. Transfer the crumble to a bowl and set aside.

In the same food processor, combine the cottage cheese, lime juice, lime zest, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate the filling for 15–20 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
