- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pumpkin spice (optional)

Instructions
- Blend Base: Combine cottage cheese and pumpkin puree in a food processor, creating a smooth foundation for the whipped spread.

- Texture Transformation: Pulse and process on increasing speeds until the mixture becomes ultra-smooth, light, and aerated with a consistent, creamy texture.
- Finishing Touch: Transfer the whipped cottage cheese to a serving vessel, artfully garnishing with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dusting of ground cinnamon, and an optional delicate maple syrup drizzle.
- Storage and Serving: Serve immediately for peak flavor and texture, or refrigerate and consume within two days to preserve the optimal whipped consistency.
