Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (melted slightly for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • 1 tbsp crushed peanuts (for crunch)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and honey thoroughly until fully integrated. For a smoother and creamier texture, blend this mixture in a food processor for 10 to 15 seconds.
  2. Assemble Base: Spoon the blended or mixed cottage cheese mixture into a serving bowl, creating a creamy base for your toppings.
  3. Drizzle Peanut Butter: Melt the peanut butter slightly to make it easier to drizzle, then evenly pour it over the cottage cheese mixture to add a rich nutty flavor.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed peanuts over the top, then finish with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors with a salty-sweet contrast.
  5. Serve or Chill: Enjoy your bowl immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to chill for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Use dark chocolate instead of mini chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Melting the peanut butter slightly helps with easier drizzling and better coverage.
  • Refrigerating for a short while enhances flavor blending but eat promptly to maintain the cottage cheese texture.
  • This recipe is high in protein and can be a great snack or light dessert option.
