Banana-Berry Sundae
This recipe serves 4
Ingredients:
12 almonds
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large banana cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries, thawed
Cooking Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Spread almonds on baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden brown and almonds give off aroma, about 7 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Arrange banana halves around the outer rim of a serving bowl. With ice cream scoop, shape cottage cheese mixture into mounds in serving bowl. Top with berries. Sprinkle with nuts.
NOTES:
Variations: Replace banana with 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries.
If using nonfat cottage cheese, double amount of almonds to get a full block of fat (3 grams each block).
