Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) chocolate protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Base: Place the cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps remaining, as this creates the pudding-like consistency required for the batter.
- Step 2: Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, sweetener of choice, vanilla extract, and sea salt directly into the blender. Pulse several times until the powders are fully integrated into the creamy base. If the batter is too thick to blend, add one teaspoon of almond milk at a time to help it move.
- Step 3: Fold and Serve: Transfer the mixture into a small bowl. Use a spatula to fold in half of the mini chocolate chips. Top the batter with the remaining chips and a tiny sprinkle of sea salt. You can eat it immediately, but for the best “batter” experience, let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
