Description
Indulge in this velvety, protein-packed chocolate pudding that turns simple cottage cheese into a decadent, silky treat. By using a high-speed blender to emulsify the curds, you create a rich mousse-like texture that satisfies your chocolate cravings without the need for traditional thickeners like cornstarch or eggs. It is the perfect healthy, high-protein dessert or post-workout snack that can be whipped up in just five minutes.
Ingredients
16 ounces cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons pure Grade A maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, silky, and no curd texture remains.
Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all cocoa powder is incorporated.
Blend for an additional 30 seconds if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
Transfer to individual serving bowls and serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat (4%) cottage cheese to ensure a creamy, non-watery texture. You can serve this with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor complexity. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
