Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Full-fat cottage cheese (small curd preferred, 2% or 4% works best)
  • Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa for balance)
  • Maple syrup or honey (to sweeten and smooth the blend)

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Or melt gently over a double boiler.
  • Blend the base. Add cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds, scraping the sides once.
  • Sweeten. Add maple syrup or honey to the blender and blitz again until incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  • Add chocolate. With the blender running on low, stream in the warm melted chocolate. Blend until glossy and uniform. Add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla if you like.
  • Chill. Divide into cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and thicken. Two to four hours is ideal.
  • Serve. Top with berries, shaved chocolate, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy cold.
