Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g low-sodium cottage cheese
  • 100 g dark chocolate at least 70% cocoa solids
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream optional
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter optional

  2. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
  3. Add the melted chocolate to the blender and blend on high speed until well combined.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
  5. If using, add the heavy cream and unsalted butter and blend until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into individual serving cups or a large serving dish.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to set.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, omit the heavy cream and butter. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup to taste.
