Description
A creamy, chocolatey pudding made with cottage cheese and protein powder, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese, any fat level
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener, to taste
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk or almond milk, to loosen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine salt
- Optional: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder for deeper flavor and more protein
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 15 to 30 seconds until smooth and glossy.
- Add cocoa, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and a splash of milk. Blend again. Scrape the sides and blend until there are no specks.
- Adjust sweetness and thickness. If it is too thick, add a spoonful of milk at a time. If it is not chocolatey enough, add another teaspoon of cocoa.
- Chill for 20 minutes for the best texture.
- Serve with berries, shaved chocolate, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend cottage cheese first and strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired. Can be stored in sealed jars for up to 4 days.
