Who said desserts need to be complicated to be delicious? This gluten-free Pumpkin Cheesecake Fluff is a tasty, balanced dessert that is bound to be the star of your holiday table. Plus, it comes together in only five minutes of active prep time!

Cottage cheese, a high-protein dairy product, transforms into a silky, rich dessert when blended with pureed pumpkin, cinnamon, and maple syrup. This upgraded version of cheesecake is packed with flavor and provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and heart-healthy fats (thanks, walnuts!) to help prevent a rapid rise and fall in blood sugar. Additionally, this dessert provides a powerful punch of vitamin A and calcium to up the nutrient quality even more.
