Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces cottage cheese (low-fat recommended)
- 1/3 cup creamy, unsalted peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup or sweetener of choice)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (melted)
- 1/3 cup peanuts (chopped)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, blend together cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
- Melt chocolate chips using a toaster oven on the ‘warm’ setting or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add a spoonful of ghee if the chocolate becomes too thick.
- Divide the blended mixture evenly into 4 dessert bowls.
- Top each serving with melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use maple syrup or another sweetener if you prefer a different flavor profile than honey.
- Make sure the cottage cheese is well-blended for a smooth, mousse-like texture.
- Ghee helps thin the chocolate for easier drizzling, but it’s optional.
- This dessert is high in protein and can be enjoyed as a post-workout treat.
- Top with additional chocolate chips or a drizzle of peanut butter for extra indulgence.
