Oh, how I love starting my day with this mouth-watering and nutritious breakfast! This whipped cream no-bake pumpkin cheesecake-type bowl is a real crowd-pleaser, and let me tell you why it’s about to become your new morning favorite.
- First off, the flavors in this bowl are divine. The pumpkin puree blends nicely with the cottage cheese to create a rich, creamy base. Then, a dash of pumpkin pie spice brings in those cozy autumn vibes, making every bite a little celebration of the season. To sweeten the pumpkin pie filling, a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar will do.
- Cottage cheese is a great source of protein, perfect for keeping you full and focused throughout your morning.

This bowl caters to various diets, being a great substitute for heavier, cream-based breakfasts.

Recipe Ingredients–What You Need
Ready for a delicious, nutritious option for breakfast? Getting that delicious pumpkin cheesecake-like flavor in a bowl is possible with just a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to make this no-bake breakfast:
-
Cottage Cheese: This dairy delight becomes creamy when whipped in the blender and is a great source of protein.
-
Pumpkin Purée: Nothing screams fall season like pumpkin. It’s rich in vitamins and fiber, which will add a boost of health benefits to your bowl.
-
Pure Stevia Powder: A natural, plant sweetener of choice for those watching their sugar intake.
-
Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix: This warm spice adds more flavor and comes with anti-inflammatory properties, making the recipe healthier. Save money by making your own homemade pumpkin pie spice mix with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.
-
Banana: I top the bowl with sliced banana, which gives us a little more natural sweetness and pairs perfectly with the pumpkin whipped cottage cheese.
-
Walnut Pieces: Walnuts are a good source of healthy fats and add protein, too. This topping also gives a little contrasting texture to your bowl.

FAQs
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of pumpkin purée for this recipe?
Sure! You can make pumpkin purée by cooking and blending the flesh of a pumpkin. Make sure to remove the water content before using in this recipe for the best texture.
How long does whipped cottage cheese last?
Leftovers or make ahead options can be stored in an airtight container and kept in the fridge. It will last up to 5 days. It’s perfect for prepping in advance, allowing you to enjoy a healthy snack or breakfast throughout the week.
