Ingredients

16 ounces cottage cheese (I use Trader Joe’s organic low-fat cottage cheese)
1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy, unsalted)
1/3 cup honey (can be maple syrup, or your sweetener of choice)
1/3 cup chocolate chips (melted; if using chocolate bar, cut it into small pieces before melting)
1/3 cup peanuts (chopped)

Yield: 4 servings | Prep time: 40 minutes |

Instructions

1. First step: In a medium bowl, blend together cottage cheese, peanut butter, and honey until smooth using an immersion blender.

2. To melt chocolate chips, I use the “warm” setting on my Cuisinart Toaster Oven. You can also use a microwave: heat the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until it's smooth. If it gets too thick, add a small spoonful of ghee to make it smoother.
3. Evenly distribute the blended cottage cheese mixture into individual dessert bowls.

4. Top with melted chocolate.

5. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container, though I doubt there will be any.

I’m excited to try this recipe to introduce cottage cheese to my diet, for I can’t stand it, my husband loves it! We’re both a fan of peanut butter though. I’m thinking Hersheys sugar free chocolate ice cream topping might work instead of melting chocolate. I’m going to try it anyway!

I absolutely hate cottage cheese and this stuff is amazing!!!! Soooo good and not a hint of cottage cheese!!

I kept the chocolate chips unmelted (I like the crunch to balance out the texture), and froze it and ate as ice cream!

alenatrs

What a creative twist! The frozen version must be very refreshing. Thanks for sharing the tip! - Alena

Missy

I made this for just one and used 1/2 cup cottage cheese. For the other ingredients I used 2 Tbsp for each ingredient. It turned out great and very delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

alenatrs

Awesome! Glad it was a hit. Thanks for your feedback! - Alena

How much protein is one little snack?

alenatrs

I cannot provide an exact amount of protein per serving. However, according to one of the comments from Pinterest, someone used MyFitnessPal to calculate that each serving contains approximately 18 grams of protein. - Alena

Guest

That's what I go also and 455 calories. I need to adjust this recipe. For some reason I thought this would be healthy.

I changed my sweetener to liquid monk fruit drops and all natural pb no sugar or pb fit powder , use Lilly’s or hersheys sugar free chips and it’s in the keto range and did 6 servings

alenatrs

That sounds like a great way to keep it keto-friendly! Thank you so much for sharing your tips! - Alena

Peanut butter is loaded with sugar as well as all the sugar in honey or maple syrup. May be better than white sugar but has same calories This is a dessert with protein

alenatrs

Natural peanut butter usually contains just peanuts (and sometimes salt) and has minimal natural sugars. - Alena

I made these today and though they were good, I will use mini chips instead as the melted chocolate got very hard and did not work well when eating it.

Guest

Next time, try adding coconut oil or butter to your melted chocolate so that it's not too hard. I make homemade granola bars with chocolate topping and always add a tbsp of coconut oil to the chocolate chips so that we can easily bite into the bars through the chocolate topping.

alenatrs

Totally agree. Since chocolate brands can vary in texture and hardness, adding coconut oil, ghee or butter can help make the chocolate topping smoother and easier to bite into. You might want to start with a teaspoon of coconut oil and adjust as needed to get the consistency you prefer. - Alena
