Notes
gingerbread spice mix (you'll only need 1/4 teaspoon of this mix for the pudding):
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon,
1½ teaspoons ground ginger,
½ teaspoon ground cloves,
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract Make sure the cottage cheese isn’t thin and watery. If it is, place it in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter over a bowl and refrigerate overnight to drain off excess whey. Place the pudding in the fridge to thicken it up even more. Store it in an airtight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
