Chilled yoghurt and cottage cheese pots over a soft wheat biscuit base.
Check off ingredients as you go.
Contains gluten, milk.
Break a wheat breakfast biscuit into the bottom of each of two glasses or small containers and spoon the milk over, so the base softens.
Blend the cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt and vanilla until completely smooth. Stop before it warms; it only needs a minute.
Spoon the mixture over the bases and smooth the tops.
Scatter the raspberries over, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Blend the dairy thoroughly if a smooth cheesecake-like texture is wanted. Stirred rather than blended, cottage cheese stays in curds, which is a different pudding.
