Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup small curd low-fat cottage cheese (1% fat)
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
2 Tbsp honey, or less to taste
4 tsp mini chocolate chips
16 frozen mini waffles or 4 frozen 4-inch waffles (preferably whole grain)
1/4 cup light whipping cream

ORANGE CREAM: In a small, chilled mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whip together whipping cream, powdered sugar and orange extract.
