Instructions
In small add water, sugar free syrup and ¼ cup of the diced strawberries. Microwave for 1 minute. Let cool for a couple minutes, then use a fork or spatula to smash up /muddle the strawberries. Set aside.
In small bowl, stir together cottage cheese, yogurt and protein powder until smooth. If the cottage cheese hasn’t been blended smooth yet, you can do this entire step with all 3 ingredients together in blender. Stir in by hand all of the remaining strawberries except about 2 tablespoons.
Find a 16-ounce minimum capacity mug or bowl with wide opening (large enough to mostly accommodate rice cake).
Set first rice cake in or on top (if slightly too large) of mug bowl, and soften with approx. 1/2 of the strawberry syrup mixture Push down well into bottom of container.
Pour ½ of cottage cheese mixture over the rice cake in cup. Next add second rice cake and soften with remaining syrup, pressing down gently to make another layer.
Top with remaining cottage cheese filling mixture. Top with remaining strawberries and, optional, either mini chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
