Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and stir in protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until a thick dough forms.
  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently until just combined.
  4. Scoop into bowls and serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

If you can, let the dough sit for five minutes after mixing. The protein powder absorbs residual moisture during that time and the whole thing firms up naturally. This recipe tastes even better after an hour in the fridge, so it is a great make-ahead snack.
