Note
For best texture, ensure the cottage cheese is blended thoroughly to avoid lumps. If using low-fat cottage cheese, the result will be lighter but slightly less creamy.
You can substitute the Sweet & Low with an equivalent amount of your preferred sugar substitute or honey if you are not strictly sugar-free.
To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold briefly in warm water and shake gently. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or pineapple slices if desired.
This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
