Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese Use low-fat or full-fat, blended well to eliminate curds.
  • 1 scoop protein powder Chocolate-flavored for maximum flavor.
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder Use unsweetened for rich flavor.
  • 3 tsp sweetener Stevia, erythritol, or coconut sugar work.
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder Leavening agent for structure.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness.
  • 2.5 oz milk Dairy, almond, or oat milk.
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Enhances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla extract to the blender in that order.
  2. Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until smooth and consistent.
  3. Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe mug, small bowl, or ramekin.
Cooking
  1. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, checking after 1 minute. It's ready when a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Wait for 2-3 minutes before enjoying to set the texture.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to three months. You can prepare the batter ahead of time, just stir before microwaving.
