Honey Walnut Spread Ingredients

  • Daisy Cottage Cheese (1 cup): The smooth, protein-packed base of your spread.
  • Honey (1 tablespoon): A touch of natural sweetness.
  • Light brown sugar (1 tablespoon): Adds subtle caramel flavor.
  • Cinnamon (¼ teaspoon):  Warm and cozy spice that tastes like fall.
  • Chopped walnuts (3 tablespoons): For crunch and nutty flavor.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • Add a dash of nutmeg or ginger for extra fall flair.
  • Swap honey with agave, corn syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
  • Use dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.
  • Try pecans or other nuts instead of walnuts.
  • Not just for bagels! It’s great as a dip for fruit or cookies, or on toast and crackers.

  2. Transfer to bowl and gently fold in fruit topping and honey. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
  3. Enjoy on bagels, toast, or crackers. Refrigerate leftovers.
