  • 1/4 cup sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ladyfinger cookies or keto-friendly substitute
  • Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, blend cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Dip ladyfinger cookies in the coffee quickly, not soaking them.
  3. Layer half of the dipped cookies in a dish.
  4. Spread half the cottage cheese mixture over the cookies.
  5. Repeat layers, finishing with a layer of cottage cheese mixture.
  6. Dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings.

Notes

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, as the texture may change when thawed. For best texture, chill 4 hours or overnight.
