Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Für ein optimales Geschmackserlebnis sollten Sie die Ananas kurz vor dem Servieren in Würfel schneiden, um die Frische zu bewahren. Die Cottage Cheese kann aus dem Kühlschrank verwendet werden, was einen angenehmen Temperaturkontrast zur süßen Ananas bietet. Wenn Sie das Müsli erst kurz vor dem Servieren hinzufügen, bleibt es knusprig.
