In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and swells, forming a thick gel.

Once bloomed, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or over low heat on the stove until fully melted.

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, sugar-free maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice along with the melted gelatin. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Taste your mixture and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as desired. Blend again briefly if necessary.

Pour the creamy mixture into serving cups or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until firm.

Garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or mint before serving.
